If science is not a "harbinger of truth", then why do ID backers want to insist it IS a scientific theory? Can't have it both ways.

I'm not sure they do. What they allege is that from a purely scientific standpoint, most theories in regardo to evolution are not science but conjecture.

And the conjecture that life is simply too complex to have happened by chance is at least as solid a scientific theory as a conjecture that it did. Indeed from a purely statistical analysis the odds are about 10100 to one against the conjecture that it happened sponataneously. Indeed, the odds are probably not even that good. And if it didn't happen by chance, then it had to happen by design. Those are the two possibilities. Unless you can come up with a viable third alternative.

I'm listening.

BTW what kind of Guitar do you play?

I think they do want to have ID considered scientific or else they wouldn't be trying to have it introduced into biology classrooms.


I play a lot of different types of music; mostly country, blues, old time mountain music. I grew up wanting to play like Eddie Van Halen though so I don't want to be pigeon-holed into any one thing.
Btw, it's nice to talk about something non-controversial :)
(I don't think anybody actually changes any opinions in threads like these yet I can't keep away lol)
