Ok lets try again.
The topic was supposed to be whether ID has it's roots in creationism.
Post 4 points out that the Discovery Institute has creationist beliefs
and on this alone decides that ID and the Discovery Institute are one and the same.
I reply by pointing out that the Discovery Institute doesn't represent proponents of ID.
I fail to see how that is off topic.
Are you saying that this thread is strictly meant to catalog a list of creationists that present themselves as ID proponents?
Is it that you WANT to paint EVERYONE with the same brush therefore my pointing out that this is not the case is a violation because it doesn't serve the purpose?
If I'm an evolutionist and want to declare that all ID proponents fit this discription my comments are eagerly invited, but if I wish to correctly point out that this is highly disingenuous then I'm committing some kind of violation.
It starts to sound to me like a topic closed to discussion rather than a topic OF discussion.
So if it makes everyone feel more secure I'll just join in.
When in Rome....
ALL ID proponents are creationists in disguise every single one of them.
Better?
