...the sequence of the last 25 powerball drawings actually occurring is far less probable than the criterion of mathematical impossibility given in the "proof."

I presume that you are saying that the probibility of any long series of "random" events is close to zero. Yet things do happen.

The real crime of ID is assuming that things that are unknown are unknowable. If we cannot demonstrate abiogenesis then it is not worth investigating. If we do not understand all the small steps leading to a complex structure, it is not worth investigating.

ID is a totalitarian impulse, a shutting down of curiosity. It derives directly from the notion of original sin, which asserts that curiosity is a mortal sin.

Foolish mortal! Obsessed with the flesh! You would do well to bear in mind the fate of Dr. Frankenstein. He meddled in things that man was not meant to know! Beware!!

That's complete BS. IDers are not against investigation into Darwinism, they are for being honest about its problems. IDers are not saying we should abandon lines of research, but saying we need to be more honest about them.
