And I have now concluded further that it is this axiomatic reasoning which makes Intelligent Design a truly dangerous proposition, because it creates a body of jargon that presents itself as intellectually sound in its formulation, giving its adherents a list of catch-phrases they can rely upon in argumentation while simultaneously avoiding the meaning that attaches to any real study of scientific phenomena. I just posted these links in another thread, but I don't think it's really spamming if I repeat them here:
One Nation, Under the Designer. The true goals of the ID movement.
Discovery Institute's "Wedge Project". Replacing science with theism.
The Wedge at Work. The Discovery Institute's war against reason.
The Wedge strategy. In their own words.

Thanks for the links! But, Jeepers, I was reading from the bottom up, had googled to find any such material on the Discovery.org site (wasn't there) and continued reading up until I finally got to the article that mentions the wedge "white paper" has not been authenticated as actually originating from the Discovery Institute. If the wedge "white paper" has never been authenticated that fact ought to be fully disclosed each and every time it is copied on the internet. Otherwise, it reflects poorly on the ones doing the proliferating - much like CBS/Rather/Maples/60 minutes with the National Guard letters asserted their documents as if they were authenticated.
