Hello,
The members of the ID movement are not being dishonest. Due to an
important Supreme Court decision that happened many years ago, it's
illegal for public school teachers to promote any religion. It's for that
reason the members of the ID movement made sure that God, Jesus or any
religion was NOT mentioned in the ID text book that they wrote.

An honest person calls that 'dishonesty'.

If they write three books like that, they'll tie with Peter, eh?

I should
note that some of the scientists that support ID are not Christians. Some
of them actually believe that people from some other planet visited the
earth millions of years ago. They left behind various people, animals and
plants. I don't agree with those scientists but their theory has as much
(or more) validity than macro-evolution.


Only if you consider no real evidence at all to be equal to
(or more than) real evidence such as transitional species
in the fossil record, and the evidence provided by DNA
studies of comtemporary species.

Any mediocre science fiction writer can invent a religion based
on alien visitation. It just takes a little bit of imagination,
perhaps coupled with the motivation provided by a bar bet.
