2. "it's NOT a genuine scientific controversy ..."

Well, I guess you aren't aware of the numerous public debates that have been taking place on the issue.

The debates and controversy are not between/among evolutionary scientists, but between religious believers and scientists, with the former seeking to overthrow the latter.

Discovery Institute's Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture seeks nothing less than the overthrow of materialism and its cultural legacies.

Design theory promises to reverse the stifling dominance of the materialist worldview, and to replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions.

In other words, it's NOT a genuine scientific controversy.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. As I posted in another post, this debate invited Darwinists to grill ID proponents (most of whom were scientists) on the science of ID. The 5-6 Darwin defenders included Dr. Larry Herber, prof. of Geological Sciences at Cal Poly Pomona and Dr. Bruce Weber, Prof. of Chemistry at Cal State Fullerton (scientists). I was there. The Darwinists did not fare well at all.
