ID (Intelligent Design) = common ground for both TEs and Bible Creationists

[The Barbarian]

I don't see Intelligent Design as a movement any more than the idea of Romans 1:20 being a movement.

It's a highly organized movement with a formal organization,(Discovery Institute) a list of "governing goals", and a campaign program plan.(Wedge Document) So there is that.

[QUOTE ]Whether people accept Intelligent Design or not is an individual matter just like accepting the Gospel.[/quote]

They are two different religions, but both are a matter of faith.

I would go as far as to say ID may have been one of Richard Dawkins' portals to at least open up to the idea of a creator, and then the possibility of humans being accountable to a creator. He observed that nature gives the appearance of design. And not just that, but with purpose. Dawkins decided that in spite of this, he won't even consider a mere possibility

Actually, he does say that it's possible that a God does exist.

(unless some aliens also subject to evolutionary change designed us).

Ironically, the man who invented the ID faith (Philip Johnson) said that the IDer might be "a space alien".
