You are really cute. But you shouldn't fall for this "intelligent" design non-sense, it's complete crap, astrology is closer to science than "intelligent" design.

There aren't any "alternate theories" for the origin or the progress of biological organisms. "Intelligent" Design isn't a theory, it isn't a field of study, it isn't science in any way shape or form, it is religious.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, dont say your going for the 'missing links argument'? You wouldnt, would ya? We have TONS of socalled missing links....checkout human, tetrapod, horse and whale evolution for example. And students dont decide what theory is better, scientists with expertise do. Science is not done or debated in a classroom.....And I have never heard of gravitons being taught as an opposing view to einstein...Youre not properly explaining gravitons here, its a particle, not a theory for gravity...

again, what natural entity could've done "that?)." Did you read my last comment? ID is about detecting signs of intelligence (CSI) in nature. As to your question, Francis Crick believed that an extra terrestrial being may have seeded life here. David Berlinski, an agnostic (although not an ID supporter) believes that the mechanism of evolution falls short. You cant tell somethings designed without knowing who/what the designer is.

"How is the connection between her support of ID and the failure to have her contract renewed established?"

If I have to explain it to you then you shouldn't even be commenting here in the first place.

"And how do you get around her breaking the law in the mean time?"

When did Crocker or anyone in the ID movement break the law?

[Alternate2GOP]

We should be asking you the same thing.

"What you think is not the issue."

So he wasn't specializing in astronomy?

"No it is NOT. The question at the heart of the tenure decision is his performance at the university that is contemplating granting him tenure. What he did for other universities has no bearing on the issue."

Why not?

Awesome job! ;)

Maybe you should apply some critical thinking and fact checking to that list. You know the point in critical thinking is that you should apply it to your own position, too.

I've yet to see any objective calculation of "CSI" for a real biological system. Maybe you can point me to one? The only thing I see them doing is calculating the odds of card games.

Re "because the DI wants a variety of oppinions" LOL. I'd say it's so weak in order to get any scientists at all to sign it. I looked up two randomly choosen "biology" profs from that list. One was working in cardiovascular pathology (Ely), the other didn't have a single article and got no google hits (M. Flowers)

ID doesn't say that it's only about where the first life came from. If it were, it wouldn't conflict with evolution theory. ID says that a designer constantly interfered (again, what natural entity could've done that?). But it doesn't say to what extend. Did he introduce single mutations, genes (into individuals or all members of a population?), or whole new species? How do they want to calculate information introduced by a designer if they do not even say what he allegedly did?
