==Rational people can get awfully curious.

Unless you’re a Darwinist, then you are dogmatic, intolerant, bigoted, and generally behave like Spanish Inquisitors.

OK, I’m going to try a reasoned argument, though it’s one you’ve likely heard before. I should mention here that I’m an evolutionist, and part of a large American branch of a conservative Christian church... Once upon a time, I was a hotshot scientist, too; but not these days. ‘nuff said.

ID is the new Phrenology, (study of human personality traits as determined by the presence of bumps on the head) and the ‘demand’ that ID be accepted as valid despite the inability of ID being tested by the Scientific Method, is the EXACT same uproar that proponents of Phrenology made to the medical community in the 17th and 18th century.

Regardless of how fashionable it may be in some landlocked square-state in the US, pretending that ID is a scientific theory is like measuring Love; we know that it’s out there, but pretending like it’s quantifiable is a mistake... AND, if something isn’t quantifiable, than it isn’t possible to analyze it scientifically.

None of your frothy diatribes are a good substitute for an actual argument. You are an exemplary ID advocate.

I sincerely hope you consider stumping for more pro-ID tenure candidates in the future.
