Hmm. Whoever supports ID nowadays puts the memetic equivalent of a "kick me" sign on their arse.


yeah, pretty much. I've been doing that all over the net lately :twisted:. The one problem with them is that they are very so fanatically devoted to their belief; it is in essence a defense of their reality.

But it is easy to tell when they clearly lost (i.e. if they start praying for you, damning you to hell, etc)...

Donald Simanek offers up a theory as to why they seem to hang on to ID: http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/philosop/bugging.htm

I like this quote right here:

If creationists really understood science they would despise it even more.


Go figure...


As Adam Savage is fond of saying, "I reject your reality and substitue my own."

I know this is an old thread, but the show came out a few days ago.

You can watch it online too, right here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/program.html

Time to grill those "cdesign proponentsists" once and for all!
