First, the idea of a Intellingence Design is not new, and it’s discusses on Philosophy. Of course, with another methods and on athor “language”. Those scientists are importing the idea and trying to TRANSLATE that to “science”.

Second, there is no problem in doing that. It’s extremelly common. Leibniz have discussed with Newton and showed him his mistakes much earlier then Einstein. Einstein translated, with extreme competence, some Leibniz ideas – and added some of his own – into Physics.

Third, Intelligence Design don’t desagree with Evolution, the problem IS the “autopoiesis”, the very base of Neodarwinism thought. The ID simply puts that Evolution is not RAMDOM.

I agree with everything you say in your essay. I have touched on many of these same issues in posts I’ve made to the Expelled blog, as well as several dozen other blogs promoting this movie, but I have never summed up the key issues in quite so elegant a manner.

I hope you don’t mind, but I have posted a link to this page on the Expelled blog.

Heres to lots of people reading your well-reasoned and sensible article.

Thank you.

I don’t think we can get away calling Myers’ phone phreaking all in good fun or fair play, but for a group of people who have been going on and on about how scientists are “scared” to respond their dangerous ideas, when in fact countless responses have simply been ignored or mischaracterized (and indeed, responses have always been available to all of their claims, since none are in the least new), I have little sympathy when one punctures their carefully constructed bubble of press-release cowardice.
