ID is not an "alternative" theory. It isn't even a theory. It isn't even a hypothesis. "ID proponents" do not do any science. They wont read anything about science.
They just start throwing the words "nazi", "atheist", "marxist", etc around. Call somebody a nazi or a marxist on a conservative forum and you can expect insults and attacks. I don't know how you could expect otherwise.
Did you read the article? It is about shouting down other points of view. That is NOT science.
I don't care what people believe about evolution. But it is clear that the group who claims to have science on its side does not understand what science means any more that those who disagree with them.
Evolution tells us something but it cannot explain everything, And we're still learning. And Evolution doesn't and will never explain why we're here, it can tell us how we came here or how we descended to our present state. But there will always be gaps here and there. It's up to people to learn the Scientific truth and philosophize for themselves.
You care because any proposal that might contradict your pristine secular view of man upsets your balanced world and you are fearful of being on the wrong side of the argument.
Darwinists are secularists. They deny the existence of God. Socialism actually depends on acolytes like yourself. Social Darwinism is a liberal tool developed for the sole purpose of destroying democracy and this republic.
Defensive secularists like yourself fantasizing about shooting people with shotguns from ambush are typical of Darwinists. After you've completed your doctorate in molecular biology, you may return and lick my boots!
