Little problem here
quote:
As if the theory of evolution doesn't limit inquiry by saying we don't care how life first started on Earth
First off, it is not so much that we do not care it is that the
origination of life does not neccessarily reflect on how life
changes. They can be and in fact are separate areas of study. The study of evolution follows the methods by which it occurs, namely natural selection, which does not require any knowledge of how life first arose. The same does not hold true of ID. ID maintains that the intelligence is an integral part of the HOW of the change of life. In fact ID goes further. ID draws a direct correlation with the function of an organ or system and the apparent "design" of the same organ or system. A better analogy would be that evolution can no more be discussed without discussing natural selection than ID can be discussed without discussing the designer as, within the ID school of thought, the designer is the chief moving force of the system. And this would be correct, we do not discuss evolution as a field of study without discussing NS, you can not truly discuss ID with out the D.
