So you agree that ID is religion? It's a start...
Of course that doesn’t keep it from being preached daily to hoards of children who are a captive audience all funded with our tax dollars, while our beliefs are being smeared using those same dollars.
For what it's worth, I'm an advocate of vouchers. This would solve the problem from both of our perspectives, would it not?
Yes, ID, biblical creation, and evolution are all belief systems. They happened in the past and cannot be observed. We have evidence in the present that is interpreted based on the worldview (paradigm) that we bring to the table. I believe in biblical creation and I think the evidence fits better with a biblical model.
The “facts” of evolution are nothing more than man’s interpretation of the evidence. He sees what he wants to see based on his worldview. I have seen scientists with the same evidence draw different conclusions because creation and evolution can’t be observed, tested and repeated. All we can do is examine evidence in the present of things that happened in the past.
