It seems like there are a ton of anons, Tracy, and every now and then Brandon versus some “non-believers” (Occams, scottb, wyldeling, jackson, et al). The non-believers gang up to give nerd-its for comments that aren’t really all that nerdy if you ask me. Seems pretty lame. What’s wrong with someone believing in something? You crazy “scientists” could be termed bigots for all your slandering of a belief.

Honestly, I don’t care what someone believes, that’s scottb and occams’ shtick. I take issue with the ID community because the claim is that ID is a bonified scientific theory, yet it lacks all of the ingredients of a theory. That is where my issue lies. Slander? No, I was just providing the conditions under which ID can be accepted as a theory. No more, no less.

I will nerd up a comment that makes me chuckle, or makes me think. Nerdiness? That matters a bit less. I will nerd down someone who comes across as a raving lunatic, and unfortunately “the believer” crowd contains more than a few. I must point out, though, my comments in this thread have said nothing about whether I believe or not. Nor, does science specifically exclude a deity.
I’d like to point out one more thing. Whenever I post such a challenge to the ID crowd I never, I repeat, I never get a response to the challenge itself. It is completely ignored by them. Instead, I get something like this, which doesn’t say anything whatsoever on why such “scientists” support ID, or how they deal with the criteria of a scientific theory. In essence, this is only the illusion of a debate, there is really nothing to see here.
