The ID "hypothesis" precedes research. Take a look at your basic philosophy of science. Amfortas: "These scientists" are politically conscious, as everyone in academia is now forced to be. Ask yourself how all this was brought out in public, if not in an atmosphere of ideological inquisition. Their problem was, again, not philosophical, as ID is indeed intellectually vacuous - it leads nowhere, and answers nothing except in terms of simple assertion - but political. Perhaps in remembrance of the halcyon days of real academic freedom, they were not secretive _enough._ DrDamage: Just backwards. The ID “hypothesis” precedes research.

No? Yes? Well there's a surprise. I'm astonished that none of these scientists have threatened to faint or vomit. No stomach for it? I bet they don't speak so poorly about the feminazis in the various departments. Is there a Lacrosse team there? No? Yes? Well there’s a surprise.
