ID cannot be applied to anything scientific. Understanding of TToE is the basis for most drug research, among other practical applications. "Right" and "wrong" are philosophical concepts and I am more than happy to discuss ID/Creationism, creation legends, etc. in a philosophical (if somewhat sophomoric) context. But they do not belong in a scientific discussion.

You seem to worship "scientism". Why believe in a false doctrine just because it's scientific and reject a true doctrine because it is not.

Should we not expand our knowledge beyond the boundaries of science if it leads us closer to the truth?

sci·en·tism (sī'ən-tĭz'əm) n. The collection of attitudes and practices considered typical of scientists. The belief that the investigative methods of the physical sciences are applicable or justifiable in all fields of inquiry

Rather arrogant of you. I worship God. I understand science.

Yes we should. Just don't call it science. Call it philosophy or theology.

Re-read my prior post. Science doesn't explain everything. But do not conflate the non-science ideas such as ID and Creationism with science.

I post on these threads from time to time to let the world at large know there are Christian Conservatives who know the difference.
