"It bespeaks the dishonesty of creationists that they must resort to lying in attempts to cover up the link between unscientific ID and creationism." - LibertarianSchmoe

Perhaps the problem that you are having is logical. Maybe you think that since all biblical creationists believe in ID at some level, that all supporters of ID must likewise be biblical creationists.

Of course, such logical fallacies are easily smashed by simply looking at scientists who design new life forms in the lab (e.g. transgenic species), for one example.

Clearly such scientists don't have to be biblical creationists, yet there they are, intelligently designing new life.

How funny that you should use the word "fallacy" in that post. Humans have been manipulating the natural world for thousands of years, doing artificially what nature does, you know, naturally. Suggesting that artificially creating life is an endorsement of I.D. is like saying that irrigation endorses the idea that rivers were carved out in a deliberate design instead of forming through natural processes.

Perhaps the one with the "logical problem" isn't me.
