    I really wonder if you are paying attention to what I write. I never
said that Behe required God to be subjected to scientific experiments What
I said was that Behe & other IDers think that God is needed to explain
certain phenomena, that he & other IDers want ID to be considered science, &
that this would require God - as an element of their scientific theory - to
be the subject of experiemnt & other tools of scientific analysis. They
don't realize this implication of their claims because they don't think
carefully about how divine action is to be understood in connection with
them.
