Allan, here's another example of ID sweet-talk:
"Not to put too fine a point on it, the Darwinian establishment views
theistic evolution as a weak-kneed sycophant that desperately wants the
respectability that comes with being a full-blooded Darwinist but refuses to
follow the logic of Darwinism through to the end. It takes courage to give
up the comforting belief that life has a purpose. It takes courage to live
without the consolation of an afterlife. Theistic evolutionists lack the
stomach to face the ultimate meaninglessness of life, and it is this failure
of courage that makes them contemptible in the eyes of full-blooded
Darwinists." William Dembski, in _Intelligent Design_, InterVarsity Press,
p. 112.
If someone wanted to misrepresent and insult his fellow-Christians more
harshly, how much sharper a point would one need?????
As I said before, there's a lot to learn about the ID movement from its
tactics.
