Putting it in my own words:
God is truth, science is a search for knowledge. When that search reveals truths that conflict with scripture then we have to take another look at our interpretation of that scripture.
Of course science is no longer a search for knowledge since it has been defined to exclude anything that science can not explain or understand. So science is now relegated to the limits that science has placed on itself and we are subject to declarations that intelligent design is not science when intelligent design is used by human beings to chnage allele frequencies. Go figure.
ID is not science.
ID is either belief in God, or extra-terrestrials, neither of which qualifies as science.
ID says that a mysterious form/being/beings that we don't know/can't understand created everything via use of apparently omnipotent power.
ID cannot be tested in a lab; it's mysticism made up to resemble science.
Next, the argument will be that The Bible should be taught as literature.
Of course science is no longer a search for knowledge since it has been defined to exclude anything that science can not explain or understand.
I think that's an excellent description. When you couple the above with the politics of science, that is, the politics that have been and continues to direct science, then science appears to have lost its objectivity.
MARCOZZI: There are two accounts of Genesis in the Bible. The more recent account describes creation in seven days and a repose on the Sabbath. The earlier account presumes that creation happened in one day.
Ok....
