The duplicity of the ID party as to theology is all quite transparent.... I'll stick my fingers in my ears and go La-la-la-la-la really loud. [Where have we heard that before?]
It [ID] is, at best, a paltry substitute myth that incorporates some of what actual science has learned or theorized but spurns not only scientific rigor but any intention to perform science. It is not, as claimed, a legitimate criticism of a scientific theory but a criticism of having such a theory at all. [Outstanding!]
The difference between the mud man [of New Guinea], gazing in awe at the watch [William Paley's argument for the existence of a watchmaker], and the ID man, coolly regarding the bacterial flagellum, is that the mud man acts in good faith.
