I'm troubled by the number of people that have been attributing some scientific basis to the intelligent design concept. This is pure religion, twisting science once again in a poor attempt to validate an unprovable hypothesis. The new age creationists have removed god from the equation and propose a conscious universe creating itself, among other beliefs.

Yes, ID is nothing more than another attempt by Christian fanatics to force Creation into public education. As we continually see, Christians, especially the more fundamentalist, have absolutely no compunction against outright lies. When their idiotic attempts to pretend Creationism has ANY sceintific standing fails miserably, they try desperately to hide their failure and instead try to find new ways to lie to people. ID is that latest lie.

They have learned that having their invented god removed as a term from the Creationism nonsense stops the most obvious church/ state violations. But it's just the same non-science repackaged minus the word "god".

As proof just how far these people are willing to lie about things, the premiere ID group REQUIRES their members (they actually have the balls to call "Scientists") to sign a CONTRACT which flatly states they CAN NOT follow ANY research which might disprove Creationism. Imagine claiming scientific evaluation can be done when you have to intentionally ignore any FACTS you don't like.

Further, when it's adherents are shown their blantant lies, they repeat the same lies at a later date. When it is shown that they have now lied INTENTIONALLY, as their lies have been exposed previously in verified public venues, they lie and say it didn't happen.

Unfortunately for the TRUTH, REAL science does not resort to lies and political force.
