If you stopped being unreasonably defensive, you might discover that an honest section on ID would at the very least lead to a more open discussion of the tenets of evolution, and a serious need to teach and understand the basics of hypothesis and verification. The net result would be positive.

Or you could continue as you are, and behave like the religious luddites of the middle ages, unable and unwilling to stretch outside of your comfortable ideology.

The net result would be a disaster for ID. But their proponents would just go back to the voters and public opinion and get the rules of science changed (again) so there would be no honest section on ID. Just the usual nonsense we see on the websites and on these threads.

Does anyone anywhere believe that the CS/ID folks are going to all this trouble to promote science, or because they think aliens or panspermia or some such is the cause of life on Earth?

Or are they doing this just as the Wedge Strategy suggested sometime in the late 1990s.
