Is it ever possible to discuss Intelligent Design without being a crypto-creationist?
Judging from the nearly violent reception given to Ben Stein's "Expelled", I guess not. Blogs loaded up with long diatribes against Creationism by people who refused to even watch the movie. There was a scientist named Shapiro who talked about a 'dialog of the deaf' as he saw defects in Darwinism but found no logic in Creationism and argued that we need a Third Way, that fits the facts. Perhaps Asian tradition would serve us better with their concept of the Tao.
