ID is not about religion or God . . .
"It's not. It's the reaction to it that's about religion."
True. It's about the religious motivations of ID proponents and the necessary supernatural nature of the *designer* in ID. ID is creationism with a dress. It's not fooling anybody.
"So natural selection could not evolve the flagellum."

So natural selection could not evolve the flagellum . . .I said no such thing. Why must you make things up? What you said was: "So, via the designer of natural selection, how did the bacterial flagellum come about?" . . In ways that Behe could never imagine.
Behe is obviously well aware of natural selection. You either communicated your thought poorly or you believe that natural selection could not evolve the flagellum.
