It’s hard to define what bad theology is except within a particular system, but nonetheless the claim has been made numerous times. From my own theological perspective, ID is bad, i.e. it contradicts essential points of my theology. How important that is depends on whether one accepts those major elements.

All of which re-emphasizes that theology and science operate differently.

This is an aspect that I’ve never considered. I usually consider ID in the pseudoscientific sense. What makes it junk religion? Is it because ID is using superficial theology to try to prove god’s existence?
