Quite right. ID has very little to do with religion, even though its proponents are generally very faith-based people.

ID, in and of itself, purports to be an "alternate scientific theory" but no definition or explanation of ID ever given makes the case that ID fits the accepted definition of "theory". ID begins with the conclusion that "all life was made as it is by an intelligent designer" and then finds evidence to prove the conclusion rather than by asking "how could life be so complex and diverse?" and reaching conclusions based on factual and reproduceable findings.

Bottom line, another victory for pure science! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]
