The tree is

My methaphor about a tree brought about some good points. Let me take
the opportunity to say what I believe that "tree" to be, that tree which
I believe IDers are trying to uproot. The three is Naturalism. The
problem with this tree is that it will not allow any other tree in its
place or near it. All types of "Divine" creation or "Divine" evolution
theories will always be "out" the "true" realm of the science of
origins. I don't think I said anything new, most people already know the
arguments of the IDers (the Firing Line Program for example), but I
thought it best to say what that three may be in their eyes. So, the
tree is not "evolution" but naturalism.
