Scott Rothschild of the Lawrence World-Journal reports on the upcoming science hearings in Kansas.

It seems quite obvious what the tactics and talking points of the ID opponents will be; more of the same - "ID is religion dressed up as science" - "ID is a matter of faith, not science" - "the state treasury is being raided" - "this is a waste of taxpayer's money". etc...etc...etc. They don't want to dialogue with ID proponents. What are they afraid of? Giving legitimacy to the scientific endeavor of ID theory?

ID is obviously science, otherwise the other disciplines of science which claim to be able to discriminate between acts of intelligent agents and natural causes, such as, archeology, forensics, search for ET, are also religious endeavors, and all about "faith". Discovering these agents is okay because they are physical beings. Since the reigning science philosophy is one which allows only materialistic answers, ID is unfairly pushed off the playing field. Remember science doesn't seeks the right answers, it seeks the right kind of answers - materialistic answers need only apply.

A previous story in a Liberal, KS paper put it well when it said the if the evolutionists don't show up they will show us their arrogance or insecurity. How long do they think they can get away with these tactics and subterfuge?

The boycott by the Darwinists of the science standards hearings to the Kansas State Board of Education was discussed when Gregg Lassey presented Draft 2 of the Minority Report to the Kansas State Board of Education. When questioned by a board member, the Chairman of the writing committee, Dr. Steve Case, said he supported the boycott.

Lassey revealed the tactics of the other side, basically setting up strawman arguments, then knocking down the false accusations.

It's instructive to see how those against ID attempt to use subterfuge to defeat their opponents.

David Roach, of BP News reports on ID and Bill Dembski.

Addressing a forum sponsored by South Baptist Theology Seminar's Carl F.H. Henry Institute for Evangelical Engagement, Dembski said he looks forward to serving at the Louisville, Ky., campus because of Southern's willingness to sponsor intelligent design research as a legitimate scientific enterprise -- an attitude that some Christian colleges and universities do not share because they believe embracing intelligent design will compromise their status in the academic world.
