But I did not say ID taught as "Science". I said ID taught as "Philosophy." I thought you didn't have a problem with a joint science-philosophy class. (And in this case the philosophical content in the large minority.) You change your mind??

Sorry. Missed that.

Ok, no problem---unless the joke here is that we are going to abandon science classes in favor of science/philosophy classes.

Isn't that going to be a mighty short philosophy segment? Other than, stating, "it's in theory possible that some unspecified portion of the Universe or its contents were constructed at some unspecified time by some unspecified intelligence", exactly what else *is* there to the "philosophy of ID" (especially after it's divorced from theology, as the IDers studiously assert)?

As paper-thin as the "science" of ID is, the "philosophy" of it is even more limited in scope.
