That would be Creationism. Intelligent Design is Creationism with the seeming imprimatur of Science. They speak of a guiding hand or Watchmaker, but this "person" is not necessarily god. The reasoning, I would not deign to call it logic, is that without god in the mix, then it is not Creationism and therefore, science. Problem with ID is that its proponents pose no testable hypothesis, no repeatable experiments and generally nothing more than "goddidit" logic. in other words ID == bullshit -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:246585 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
