Fascinating. You want to get ID into the classroom so you can get religion in. Didn't you get the talking points? ID -- according to those publicly pushing it -- is
science and nothing but science.
I thought you were hot to get religion into the schools.
But ID isn't science, Fester. We know this because ID proponents are trying so hard to change the definition of science to make ID fit.
ID is not science because it makes no predictions and suggests no further lines of research.
It's not science because it can't be falsified.
So we know it's not science. It's not religion, because that's what all the ID adherents said under oath at the Dover trial. So what ID appears to be is nothing.
Kids already know that.
Again, you're getting yourself worked into a lather over an innocuous, tentative summary regarding organized matter in the physical universe. Do you really think it is the sworn duty of all people to restrict ideas by law? Although the idea of intelligent design is in accord with religious teachings rearding an Almighty Creator, that hardly necessitates sectarian teaching in the classroom. It is apparent you do not trust people to think for themselves, but would prefer to use the law to keep them from thinking differently than you do. We have words for that kind of person, and they do not include "scientist."
