Seems to me that this argument, along with others on this LISTSERV, puts
the ID people in a tough place.

If they claim that the ID concept is "supernaturally neutral," as I
believe they do in most, if not all, of their writings, then Glenn and
George (and others) castigate them for "leaving the Bible out." If they
do not so claim, then they are chastised for being "just another
creationist group."

I agree with Moorad in this instance. I think the ID movement should
stand on its own as a scientific/philosophical concept. Johnson is right
-- leave the Bible out of it.

Aside to Glenn -- just read your son's testimony & the A&M story. Great
story! Blessings.
