Intelligent design akin to expanding evolutionary theory into the social sci realm
When I look at ID I see no reason that it should be taught in the science classroom. It has no scientific basis other than an assortment of inferences. But as ID does not have a place in the science classroom this latest craze of consorting human psycology with evolutionary theory and wrapping it up as science has even less. Rape is not a product of evolution, neither is infantcide. Perhaps genes may play a small role, but the main force driving these heinous acts must be environmental pressures. When applying evolution to humans we must use caution, because (at least in my mind) the society we live in does not refect a natural world therefore natural laws, which may apply to animals, do not apply directly to humans. Making assumptions like those listed above does not help evolution in the public eye, and in my mind frightens much of the middle which may otherwise support a better teaching of evolution, and the continuation of keeping ID out of science.
