Oh, just one more thing Alamo-Girl:

“At the root, the intelligent design movement had as its objective the elimination of methodological naturalism as a presupposition in scientific investigations.”

I’m not sure why you used the past tense there. Is that no longer an objective of the movement?

In any case, the notion of a “supernatural science” is an oxymoron. It just doesn’t make sense.

As far as I know, the objective is still on the table - but being a movement, many other factors enter into the "calculus." In this case, publicly funded education has moved to the front burner, methodology of scientific investigations to the back burner.
