I certainly will love it when science finally confirms that no species came from others. It will take time, and there will be extreme reluctance to it, because it’s what the ID folks have been saying all this time.

Don't wait up.

Science, over the past couple of hundred years, has been pretty good at showing how things once thought to be supernatural are actually natural occurrences.

Science also has a pretty good track record defending false ideas and scientific fraud, with people wasting their entire careers based on lies, until it is discovered 40, 50 or more years later. Haeckel and his phony embryo drawings for example. This crap still makes it into textbooks.

Oh really? But I thought science had nothing to do with the supernatural. The supernatural is outside the scope of what science can discover. Science has enough to do without wasting it's time on hocus-pocus like that. What's it doing investigating it then?
