Snark much?
“Yes, it’s very easy to explain things which Science is still struggling to fully plumb when you can simply exclaim, “A Wizard did it!””
Yes that is a criticism of ID, but there’s also the possibility that the wizard does exist and it shouldn’t be automatically dismissed.
Reminds me of that old saying... “just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean someone isn’t following you.”
Or rephrasing it, just because you hate the idea of something bigger than us having purposefully designed and created us, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
The reason a lot of mainstream scientists object to the “wizard” explanation is because they claim that it stops science from further exploration.
But that’s absolutely not what IDers want. They actually want more scientific explorations that would prove or disprove one or the other world view or something completely novel.
In reality it is the mainstream scientists who want to limit research by excluding the possibility of ID from their research.
It’s a bit like the warmists calling anyone who doesn’t toe their line deniers and forbidding any research that would disprove their hypothesis.
