Given: creationists argue for ID Deduction: ID is creationism in disguise

How about this one?

Given: In a textbook on creationism, the word creationism was replaced everywhere by ID, with no other significant changes; the result was a textbook on ID.

"Given: In a textbook on creationism, the word creationism was replaced everywhere by ID, with no other significant changes; the result was a textbook on ID."

Creationism is a specific form of ID, but that does not mean that ID is creationism. By the same token, a motorcycle is a type of a vehicle, but not all vehicles are motorcycles. Funny how evolutionists seem to have so much trouble with this simple fact.

If you are indeed correct that no changes were made other than a global search-and-replace of "creationism" with "ID" (which I doubt), and if the book still made sense, then apparently they were using the word "creationism" where "ID" was more appropriate. In that case, they should have used ID in the first place, and their revision was perfectly reasonable.
