| The problem is that the ID proponents are trying to make it sound like Evolutionists are an organization that doesn't want another theory. Ben and O'reilly refer to it as the 'church' of evolution.. but no evolutionists think like that! Hell, the term 'evolutionists' is misleading. 'Evolutionists' just means logical thinking individuals who see that the theory continues to hold up even as more information becomes available. No one said it answers all the questions to the entire universe, NO SCIENCE DOES. That's what science is always seeking to find, the answers. It does not propose or claim to know all the answers already. You cannot say 'well, evolution can't answer how answer how this happened, and ID does' as a logical reason for ID being a science. ID just says 'thar be dragons! rarrr..' THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER, that's a belief! Science goes 'well, we don't know.. yet. We're still trying to figure that out. One we have enough proof, we'll let you know. But, our theory does at least answer these other questions..'
The ID people are the ones who have made this some kind of battle. The scientific community did not go into churches going 'you guys are morons, lolz!!'. But, the ID people did the exact opposite. They brought a, effectively, spiritual belief and tried to dress it up as a science. |
