Their reaction to ID is due to it’s inability to be reconciled with the methodological naturalism of the scientific method. You’re trying to conflate methodologcial and metaphysical naturalism. You’ll have to peddle that fallacy to someone else. I’m not buying it.
Not at all. Their reaction is due to their fear of allowing that 'Divine Foot' in the door. While ID does not require a supernatural creator, acknowledging any type of designer is allowing that 'Divine Foot' in the door and they simply won't even begin to go there.
"You’re trying to conflate methodologcial and metaphysical naturalism. You’ll have to peddle that fallacy to someone else. I’m not buying it."
I'm not the one that does that. Science peddles that fallacy every day. That's why science fears ID so intensely. ID opens the door to the fact that methodological naturalism does not affirm philosophical naturalism.
