I submit that saying 'astrology is science' is no worse of an abuse-of-term than saying 'ID is religion', merely because one of the possible candidates for 'Designer' is the Christian GOD.

Let's have a moment's honesty here. The *only* candidate any Christian ID proponent is thinking of is the Christian God. The only candidate any Muslim is thinking of is the Muslim God, etc, etc, etc.

The only candidate any Triangle is thinking of will have three sides, etc, etc, etc. (With apologies to Montesquieu.)

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!

Well, why do you stop at Islam and leave the atheists out? Their candidate would be ET, right? The larger point being that ID, just flat out doesn’t necessitate belief in the Christian GOD or any God, god or gods, for that matter.

In fact, according to ID, the whole of issue identity is irrelevant, as it should be, since such questions come under religion and/or philosophy and not science.

Someone tell me again how ID is necessarily religious.
