Why aren't you pushing for Santa Claus theory? Teach the controversy!

So... for me to expect consistency of thought and actions by those posting their arguments here, especially those claiming to be scientists, is comparable to a belief in Santa Claus?

I didn't know there was a controversy relative to being consistent. I thought everyone kept a cross referenced keyword database of all posts so they can quickly challenge their fellow freepers to "prove it" or throw an "oh yeah" in their face when appropriate.

You mean they don't??????

No, I showed that the logic of your example was faulty. You want ID to be considered scientific before it makes any scientific, testable claims. Just because there is no evidence for ID now doesn't mean there ever will be. Until there is, it does not belong in a science classroom. You want science to change its rules and allow ID in before it makes any testable claims. By that standard, ANY idea that has not been falsified should be considered scientific. Santa Claus theory has as much going for it as ID.
