Because in the case of ID, it isn't just "any presentation of evidence". It's a dishonest, factitious presentation designed only to cast spurious doubt upon established knowledge, and not to offer any viable alternative.
ID is the academic equivalent of a push-poll. It doesn't care how the questions are answered because the questions aren't presented honestly. The questions are merely there to tarnish, in the listener's mind, something the questioner opposes.
But, OK, Let's suppose that ID became the dominant belief because it is taught and most people liked that one. What then? So what? Why so excited?
You wouldn't have to believe it if you didn't want to.
Well said!ID is the academic equivalent of a push-poll. It doesn't care how the questions are answered because the questions aren't presented honestly. The questions are merely there to tarnish, in the listener's mind, something the questioner opposes.
