More emphasis on critical thinking would be good but "science" is
a very general term. I see no reason to exclude ID as a possibility
unless there are other motives.

I see no reason to exclude the Church of the Flying Spaghetti
Monster either. They are both equally [im]probable.



That's insane. Einstein probably knew more about it than you
and he believed in a ID. There's no reason to believe in your
example.


You're insane. I probably know more about Einstein than you
do. At some times in his life he was an atheist at others,
a theist, at times I would suppose he was agnostic.


I didn't think you could defend your silly comparison.

What silly comparison? You seem to be plucking things out of
thin air.



You seem to not be following the posts. Scott compared belief in
an Intelligent Designer with the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

You (Mr Humplebacker) wrote "I didn't think you could defend your silly
comparison." in reply to my (FF's) article, not in reply to
Scotts article. Hence the logical anteedant for your (Mr
Humplebacker's)
use of 'you' is FF.



But I daresay at no time in his adult life would he ever have
recommended ID be published in any scientific journal or taught
in any science class.


And you know this...how?

Are you unclear on the meaning of "I daresay?"


No.

My opinion is based on reading (in translation) Eistein's own
writings. Not all of them to be sure, but lots.


He saw design and refered to God a number of times (not in a
personal sense though). My opinion would be that he thought God
was the designer.

Almost no one objects to everyone, including Einstein, having
such metaphysical beliefs. At issue is incorporating metaphysical
beliefs into science.
