The strength of intelligent design as an intellectual project consists not in presupposing a prepackaged conception of a designer and then determining how the facts of science square with that conception. Rather, intelligent design's strength consists in starting with nature, exploring nature's limitations, and therewith determining where design fits in the scheme of nature.

Thanks for the link.

I get baffled on these threads because there doesn't seem to be a positive statement of what makes ID "scientific". If I understand the statement I cut and pasted from the crevo resource, ID consists of finding observations that are not well understood and claiming that these "disprove evolutionary theory".

Does ID ever make a positive statement or prediction? I didn't see that anywhere.

I think I'm more comfortable with the anti-science folks who use their computers to post their denials that science has any value. At least that's funny.

O I'm the Intelligent Designer
Of the universe, what could be finer?
I made the sun, the moon, and the stars,
I carved the Face on Mars,
I've hidden the missing link,
I led Clinton to the sink.

Betwixt the fossil gaps,
Is where you'll find me ... perhaps.
Whatever you can't understand,
'Tis proof that I've played my hand.

As long as there are problems yet unsolved,
You may claim that nothing has evolved.
