Ok. I posted that last bit with the goal of not trying to explain myself one last time. Thanks, Seth.
I feel the creationism vs ID debate is a valid discussion to have.
It pisses me off to see otherwise intelligent folks treating the discussion as always-right scientists vs. inbred hicks.
Throughout my spotty interest in the debate, as I am not a christian nor a parent nor a person that's all that concerned in any way in a direct sense, I have seen the ID folks punch some pretty good holes at least in some of the examples that evolutionists have used, a good example being the Miller experiment.
My direct interest in the debate comes from the point of view that those that treat science as a religion (not all science fans do this, but it is my contention that many folks do) use the admittedly flawed anti-religion aspect of the evolution debate in addition to similar functions of ecological science, some parts of cosmology, psychology and politics (as well as many other parts of modern culture) to create a dysfunctional alternate reality, a religion, for themselves that let's them live entirely free of any sort of moral ties to any of the rest of us.
