"The _theological_ problem with the claims of Behe _et al_ & the
whole ID movement is that they insist that certain natural phenomena
_compel_ us - if we're intellectually honest - to acknowledge God at
work, & that independently of faith in Christ."
George, in my exchanges with the ID folks (how I wish you had been at the
NTSE!), I have not observed the above as their assertion. Johnson put it
well at the NTSE when he said that the ID work would, if successful, make
science more "theistic friendly," but that's all. I happen to disagree
with Phil on this -- I see it opening science to potential abuse, but I
think I have an open mind on the issue. I see ID, if it has value, and
it may well have value, as not needing in any way to appeal to the
supernatural -- only to intelligences outside of humanity. That's all.
