Science throws its bad pennies away. Creation/ID can't do that or their bag would be empty from that day forward.

For every bad idea that science tosses out, there's a cult that springs up to perpetuate the discredited notion.

Yep.. cleaning your own house.. sounds more like stacking stocks to me; but...
