I might also add that, being part of the ID movement and a personal friend of some of the major players, the ID movement has NOTHING to do with the creation movement.
The Intelligent Design movement has a number of non-Christians in it and, as strange as this may seem, I am even convinced some of them are atheists! All of us involved, however, are challenging evolution as it is presented. ID is NOT a front for any creation group or religion.
What ID does is promote using the scientific method and scientific principles when looking at the world around us. It uses the same methods, essentially, as forensic science. It looks at the evidence in light of our experience as people as as scientists and then asks, "Does this give us enough evidence to consider intelligent design as being the cause of this?" The answer could be no or yes.
But that is all Intelligent Design does. It may open the door to a theological interpretation or discussion, but it does not enter. It looks at the evidence with as many presuppositional glasses off as humanly possible.
This, however, is evidently either anathema to evolutionists or simply a point of terror that someone with training and intelligence might have the nerve to question the currently accepted paradigm.
Creation science is an entirely different thing, for it is based on the supposiiton that God is real and is in control in the same way that secular science denies both when pushed to the wall.
