Unless and until ID proponents produce actual scientific results. FR will be the only place they are taken seriously.
bttt
800 phds disagree
80,000 phds agree
but your point is appreciated.
And on FR only by a couple such as metmom and GGG. Yes metmom. I didn't do a courtesy ping.
The following are a few of my favorite quotes on Intelligent Design, dedicated to the geniuses who cannot find any “evidence” of it in nature.
This most elegant system of the sun, planets, and comets could not have arisen without the design and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being. Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727), The Principia
The scientist is possessed by the sense of universal causation ... His religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection. Albert Einstein
Overwhelmingly strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us. ...the atheistic idea is so nonsensical that I cannot put it into words. Lord Kelvin (1824-1907)
The more I study nature, the more I am amazed at the work of the Creator. Louis Pasteur (1822-1895)
One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding that there must be design and purpose behind it all. ... The better we understand the universe and all it harbors, the more reason we have found to marvel at the inherent design upon which it is based. ... I endorse the presentation of alternative theories for the origin of the universe, life, and man in the science classroom. Wernher von Braun, father of the American space program
I have said for years that speculations about the origin of life lead to no useful purpose as even the simplest living system is far too complex to be understood in terms of the extremely primitive chemistry scientists have used in their attempts to explain the unexplainable that happened billions of years ago. God cannot be explained away by such naive thoughts. Ernst Chain, Nobel-laureate biochemist
So if one proceeds directly and straightforwardly in this matter, without being deflected by a fear of incurring the wrath of scientific opinion, one arrives at the conclusion that biomaterials with their amazing measure of order must be the outcome of intelligent design. ... The notion that not only the biopolymer but the operating program of a living cell could be arrived at by chance in a primordial organic soup here on the Earth is evidently nonsense of a high order. Sir Fred Hoyle, British astonomer (and self-professed atheist), from a lecture in 1982
A superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology. Sir Fred Hoyle
The Darwinian theory has become an all-purpose obstacle to thought rather than an enabler of scientific advance. Robert B. Laughlin, Nobel-laureate physicist
Much of present-day biological knowledge is ideological. A key symptom of ideological thinking is the explanation that has no implications and cannot be tested. I call such logical dead ends antitheories because they have exactly the opposite effect of real theories: they stop thinking rather than stimulate it. Evolution by natural selection, for instance, which Charles Darwin originally conceived as a great theory, has lately come to function more as an antitheory, called upon to cover up embarrassing experimental shortcomings and legitimize findings that are at best questionable and at worst not even wrong. Your protein defies the laws of mass action? Evolution did it! Your complicated mess of chemical reactions turns into a chicken? Evolution! The human brain works on logical principles no computer can emulate? Evolution is the cause! Robert B. Laughlin, Nobel-laureate physicist
Do you think any of these guys have “produced any “actual scientific results”?
