      [continued from previous message]              just what actually exists, what actually happened, and what nature       actually is.              Behe is a theistic evolutionist tweeker who understands that his       designer evolved the flagellum over a billion years ago. He thinks that       his designer has acted in non Bilbical ways to evolve life on this       planet. He has always understood that the "Big Tent" is a lie. Really,       any legitimate science could never support the vast majority of       creationists that get fooled by the ID scam. Most of their support       still comes from YEC, and you have ID perps like Luskin that claim to       have gotten their PhD studying rocks over 2 billion years old, and Meyer       (the creationist clown that has run the ID scam unit from the beginning)       claims that he has the ID science that proves that his designer is       responsible for designing lifeforms during a 25 million year period over       half a billion years ago for the Cambrian explosion.              Most of the creationists that support the ID scam, just want to be lied       to, and that is what the ID perps do best.              The claim that the ID perps could do the same science as everyone else       and support their Biblical creationist beliefs has always been a lie.       YEC ID perps like Nelson never wanted the other ID perps to succeed in       doing any real science. He joined to support the ID Wedge scam because       he understood that the ID perps did not have any legitimate ID science.       If they had, had any it would have just been more science for Nelson to       deny.              You need to deal with what the ID scam actually is, and what Science       actually is.              Ron Okimoto              >       > The first choice of an answer is totally unacceptable since it is "not       > science" to the materialist since it involves something supernatural.       > God must have caused it.
