You seem to think that science is against ID. What science is really concerned with is the change in scientific methodology that introduction of ID as a religious philosophy into the education system will force. Many scientists I know, including many here have stated that the introduction of any supernatural cause will make the development of theories impossible. If ID can completely remove its reliance on supernatural cause, develop its own theory, including falsifiability and predictive ability it would likely be accepted as a science.

In any case, the methodology which has served us so well is the most important factor in refusing entrance to ID *as it stands now*. Introducing anything that is above the laws of nature can only harm scientific investigation.

If that methodology is corrupted by introduction of ID, more fields of science than evolution will be affected.

I do not think all the people who love Darwin's theory are bigots ,or Marxists just those who want segregate anyone who went to schools that taught ID in dummy college classes. Of course a guy from some hellish madrassa where Darwin was not taught would be welcomed into the regular college classes with open arms. This is a slap in the face of many Christian schools which work hard to teach Physics and Chemistry.Of course the Christian colleges will pick up the slack. Those who can't afford private colleges will have no choice but to major in business. Science will loose some intelligent minds because of religious bigotry.Based on some of the insults being slung at Christian evangelicals ,why would anyone care if I thought those slinging the insults had impure motives?
