As usual with evolutionists, the author creates an “ID straw man”, and then sets out to show why it is wrong. He completely misstates the ID case, and misconstrues what is contended. Maybe he should do a little more reading of the current ID literature.
ID was never meant to be scientific in the first place. It has always been nothing more than a political tactic to get creationism into the public schools, and this was even admitted candidly by its founders at the Discovery Institute before they realized that their paper trail could be broadcast over the Web.
ID is the “wedge” tactic of a particular sectarian view that is hostile to naturalistic explanations for anything. It has, in this way, far more in common with Islam than traditional Christian thought, as it rejects naturalism completely.
