CNN posted an interesting story today:
Evidently in the wake of removing those who tried to institute ID into the science classroom, Robertson saw fit to publicly warn the people of Dover they may face God's wrath, and they better not seek God's help when it happens (that's a new one, a christian telling people to not seek out God).
Despite the fact that, one could can actually support and believe in ID yet also believe it is not a subject for the NATURAL science classroom, the absurdity of Robertson's threat amuses me.
Maybe I'm becoming delusional but last time I checked, it had been clarified that natural disasters are not simply God's way of punishing people for their sins (if so the world would have exploded centuries ago).
But with a viewership of over a million people, it suprises me how many people buy into this vindictive, spiteful view of God and christianity.

Well,
I believe the common way that proponents of ID get around mentioning God specifically is by terming it "a higher being".
I don't know if you noticed the recent rulings in Kansas on approving ID for the science classroom. I thought it was very interesting that they also changed the definition of science so that it is no longer defined as "seeking natural explanations for things".
Of course this really handicaps the whole purpose of science. If we didn't seek out natural explanations for things, than medical science (for example) would not be anywhere near where it is today...
It's just frustrating. There is nothing wrong with ID per say, but it definitely does not fit within the confines of a science classroom unless you want to change the very definition of science like Kansas did.
