I believe this thread is about ID, not Creation Science. And if the links I posted do not stand up to critical examination, feel free to critically examine them.

I have posted critiques on many occasions, particularly regarding radiocarbon dating. I have convinced nobody here because in spite of what is claimed, ID is creation "science" with the serial numbers filed off in an attempt to sneak it into science classes.

If ID and creation "science" were about science, then facts, logic, and reason -- scientific evidence -- would prevail. What shows that ID and creation "science" are both religion is that belief (scripture or revelation) prevails over scientific evidence.

Those links you posted are good evidence of this, as are several creationist/creation "science" websites. Look up the Creation Research Society, Institute for Creation Research, Creation Studies Institute, and Answers In Genesis and see what their Statement of Belief, Tenets of Scientific Creationism, Mission, and Statement of Faith are (respectively). I can provide links if you need.

This is good evidence that they are doing religion, not science. They state clearly that religious belief supersedes science.

That is not science, and a critical examination of their writings confirms this.

Actually, it was your very own Richard Dawkins who said that “The presence or absence of a creative super-intelligence is unequivocally a scientific question...”

And the fact that you keep mixing up Creation Science with Intelligent Design indicates that you are ignorant about both.
