Why TOE is not accepted

This isn't peer-reviewed, but I think it should suffice for showing Intelligent Design Creationism as a political movement.Straight from the horse's mouth, the Wedge Document:http://www.antievolution.org/features/wedge.html

Governing Goals

​

* To defeat scientific materialism and its destructive moral, cultural and political legacies.

Among many, many other items that seem to indicate the political nature of Intelligent Design Creationism.

IOW, not science, pseudoscience. Hasn't Faith made similar statements?

UNLESS you can back that up with evidence, though, it is your belief and still not science. Well, if you are talking about YEC, I would be quite shocked to learn it is true. The evidence with which I'm familiar is contradictory. If my assessment is wrong, I look forward to being corrected. I'm open to learning new things.This message has been edited by Clark, 08-01-2005 12:17 PM

I'm willing to bet that all organizations that advocate YEC or IDC are political and/or religious* and thus not scientific in nature. I don't have peer-review to back me up but you could prove me wrong by showing one, if I am wrong it should be quite easy.And in the same vein, I can show you plenty of organizations that are neither political nor religious concerning the TOE.Is that a fair test?*Note, when I say religious, I only mean that you need to make a statement of belief to participate. Like Charles K demonstrated previously.This message has been edited by Clark, 08-01-2005 02:19 PM

I agree. I don't think you have to make a faith statement to be a fellow at the Discovery Institute, but the Wedge document which I presented previously clearly demonstrates that the organization is political.

still stands.The concept of a Designer is not excluded a priori. Miracles and supernatural beings are excluded only because they don't leave evidence.This message has been edited by Clark, 08-01-2005 02:31 PM
