Topic: Evolution
Quote: So there you have it. An evolutionist\'s formulation of an IDists response. Appropriately, because ID as a whole is essentially an argument from ignorance, ignorance plays a role the answers to all your questions. ("Don\'t know"/"Don\'t care"/"Doesn\'t matter.") ID simply sidesteps these issues.\nAlso notice that none of the statements are testable or falsifiable, except for the parts of the OEC view that are perfectly compatible with geology and evolution. Some will claim that they "have no reason" to doubt common descent (a la Behe) but do a conspicuously good job of not saying they actually believe it.\nAnd if any IDists have a problem with my responses, they\'re able to post their own responses. However, they were able to do that even before I responded, and they didn\'t...
Response: Yes, intelligent design is another incarnation of the "God of the gaps" idea. What separates it in conceptual terms from YEC (for example) is its gaps are much, much smaller, but remain nonetheless.\nI wonder if we have a true advocate of Behe\'s Intelligent Design to argue the corner?
