You can legitimately say that. The 'Iders' do not. The
concomittant proposal for an alternative is paramount to
them. Before 'ID' it was 'creation science'. They are not
in this fight for the science.

Check out their webpages and look into what other issues
they support. Their agenda will be clear.

The Creation Science guys (ICR) do have their own agenda Fred. They are
however different from ID.

The Protestants have their own agenda. They are however diferent
from the Lutherans.

Actually, in each case, the latter is a subset of the former.

'ID' is a form of 'creationism' in which the 'creator' is
renamed 'the designer' and creates with more subtley than in
some other variants like 'creation science'.

Do you seriously doubt that many of the people pushing
for 'ID' in the public schools are not the same people
who were previously pushing for 'creation science' in
the public schools?



That does not make 'ID' wrong, but it puts the present
controversy in perspective. Without the Christian Coalition
and its ilk, you would never have heard of ID.


ID has been around for a lot longer than the Christian Coalition.

I suppose so, but that is beside the point.
