About This Quote

The problem with ID, of course, is that it leaves open the possibility that the intelligence behind nature may have a moral interest in us, having communicated already with humanity in the past, and might try to boss you around in your private afterlife. The problem with ID is its lack of respect for science. Both fundamentalist Christianity and fundamentalism of any kind are anti-science. This is why they are so suspicious of scientific theories like evolution and geology. They reject scientific evidence about origins because they are afraid that scientific evidence will show them to be wrong. It doesn't matter if the scientific evidence is correct, they don't want it to exist because they are afraid that their worldview may be wrong.
