I was merely replying to your snide comment about laughing every time someone puts Intelligent Design and Science together in the same sentence. If you want to take that tack with me fine, but don't expect me to stand bye and refrain from pointing out the anti-science religious motivations behind your derisive comments.

ID is theology, so it is funny. Admittedly, some people under the ID mantle have been doing scientific work, but it hasn't been at all successful. Scientists often don't bother to even shoot down the claims anymore, because after the 50th making essentially the same claim you're wasting their time.

My motivations are entirely pro-science. I have no stake in the theory of natural selection. As I've said before, I would LOVE to be the person to disprove it. I'd be famous for taking down such a strong, long-standing scientific theory. Work like that can get you a Nobel Prize. In the end, science is always better for taking down theories and replacing them with something better.

But, alas, nothing has come close to disproving natural selection and displacing it as the dominant scientific theory in the area. YEC certainly has zero scientific basis. There you're beating a horse that's been dead for hundreds of years.
