@kellyjay saidI am familiar with the pseudoscience propagated by evangelical Christians. I am not hiding from it. Others may want to rake through the perennial positions taken by pseudoscience and real science; not me. You can go through all that with people who have a whole forum for it if you want. I was simply curious as to why your "faith" needs to bend science and put it in a box intended, by you, for supernatural explanations.
At some point you may look at what you asked for instead of hiding from them.

rules of discussion, for that matter I can even ask your opinion and ignore you and
pass judgment according to how you do things. You are acting as if a conversation
should be both people actually paying attention to what they other says, that
sounds good, but I have not seen that in practice from you yet. Maybe you should
go to another board and tell them what you think "prejudice" means and I will
look at what they say about your thoughts!

More to the point, why are you hiding Stephen C, Meyer here and not offering him and his ideas to people who enjoy debating such things on the Science Forum?
world view, or you void of reason?
@fmf said"I am familiar with the pseudoscience propagated by evangelical Christians."
Where have I claimed that 'everyone who is a Christian is a clone'?
Believe it or not even evangelical Christians don't always view things the same way.
Lumping them all into a group and painting them with this "pseudoscience" does
everyone including you a disservice. Moreover it isn't Christian views that were
discussed, it was what can be seen in the real world, and possible explanations
given for these things, then comparing them to what we know now, not what we
may know in the future.
These were done for comparison not with scripture but with competing views!
Which are the best with the truth we currently understand. You would have known
that had you bothered to watch them.

@fmf saidActually "intelligent design" is a conclusion, it isn't the science used to get there.
"Intelligent Design", for example, is pseudoscience. It is doing no one a disservice to say so.
I don't call myself a ID believer, I'm a creationist and I have to acknowledge that.
Your bias is showing again, do you apply the same standard to those that believe
in only a natural world? Motivations are the only reason Atheist accept materialism
is because they are Atheist, not because they are the best explanation for the
reality we find ourselves in? If we declare motivation not science is why people
see and accept the things they do, then we are not looking at science we are
looking at people.
