I knew you had no support for your claim that ID invoked the supernatural. It's just fun watching you dance around trying to support your previous errors.

Let’s take a look at the name, shall we?

Unless the title is a misnomer, intelligent design in the context of biology indicates a belief that some aspects of life were created by an entity that no one has ever encountered, either in the lab or in the real world. The identity of this entity is vague. But, nevertheless, the ideology posits that an entity is responsible.

I again direct you to the ruling of Judge Jones, as follows:

First, defense expert Professor Fuller agreed that ID aspires to "change the ground rules" of science and lead defense expert Professor Behe admitted that his broadened definition of science, which encompasses ID, would also embrace astrology. Moreover, defense expert Professor Minnich acknowledged that for ID to be considered science, the ground rules of science have to be broadened to allow consideration of supernatural forces.

Also, if you were unable to google the textbook, please click here. Hopefully, you won’t wait a week to click the link.

And evolution is a belief that some aspects of life were created by processes that no one has ever encountered, either in the lab or in the real world. The identify of the processes is vague. But, nevertheless, the ideology posits that these processes are responsible.

"Moreover, defense expert Professor Minnich acknowledged that for ID to be considered science, the ground rules of science have to be broadened to allow consideration of supernatural forces."

Sorry, that is just incorrect. Supernatural forces do not have to be considered, only intelligent ones.

Sorry that FR isn't the focal point of my life, as it apparently is with you. If you had a point, apparently it is that responses that are not within your self-proscribed timeframe are somehow less valuable. Interesting thought pattern. Irrational, but interesting.
