IT’S BEEN A FEW DAYS
since I posted anything on ID. Just so y’all don’t go into withdrawal, I want to highlight this terrific essay by Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ). Holt was a scientist before going into politics, and he knows his stuff. The last third of the essay gets into politics a bit too much, but the first 2/3 are primo. (via The Panda’s Thumb)

Well, I disagree, as do many scientists whose credentials surpass this partisan democrat, who just so happens to be a supporter of SETI. Perhaps ID conflicts with Holt’s religious persuasion? Anyway, here’s what ID is for those who are curious: 1. What is the theory of intelligent design? |

Nice lie. The Discovery Institute has been outed. It was founded with the explicit purpose of pushing Christianity. Science never has had anything to do with it. |

And Holt holds a Ph.D. in physics. I’m betting his credentials probably top yours. |

Okay, I’m confused. Or someone is. Isn’t the idea/hypothesis of ID basically: “Sure, man evolved from apes, etc., but it wasn’t a random process” ? |

Another point of confusion: Daryl, do you or don’t you believe that humans came to exist because some being wanted them to exist? |
