They see "design" in nature, but cannot distinguish "apparent design" from "intelligent design". They see complexity in nature and argue that "evolution cannot explain this".

Capitalism being an "advanced" form of social Darwinism or the war of all against all and everything.<BR/><BR/>Plus the ID/UD crowd arent really interested in free "discovery". There agenda is to bring back, by force if necessary, via their claims to possess "total truth", the big-daddy patriarchal "god" of entirely this worldly exoteric religiosity.<BR/><BR/>Another disturbing aspect of their "total truth" claim is that ALL other ways of understanding and being in the world are false and hence their adherents need to be re-"educated". <BR/><BR/>This fits in with the "only one truth" claims made by a certain right wing christian journal with the initials FT which, surprise surprise, is very much part of the ID "discovery" insitute network.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
