Re: Explanatory power (or lack thereof)
Why can’t intelligent design be an interdisciplinary science for both evolution and abiogenesis, that adds to exploration and searches for function and complexity that are currently only searched for by naturalistic forces that consist of only randomness/clumsiness/incompetence?
Indeed. Why can't it? We are told that all of these great scientists are leaving evolution by the thousands and flocking to ID (at least, that's what we are told). So where is this work? Where is the ID research? Lacking such examples, perhaps you could tell us what type of experiments we could do based on ID that would allow us to discover new things in science.
As to the topic, how would ID help us research PAH or the chemistry of the early Earth? What ID experiments could we do?
It’s about scientific education being bent in such a way as to not inspire questions, or open inquiry. In 2007, Michael Behe stated that On the origin of the cilium/IFT by random mutation, Darwinian theory has little that is serious to say."
So what does ID have to say about it? All Behe can manage is "it was done on purpose". That doesn't help. So what were the steps involved in making the flagellum? Does ID help us understand that? Does ID help us understand WHEN it happened? Where it happened? To which species it happened to? Anything at all?
Does ID help us understand what the first life looked like? Does it help us understand the relationship between ribozymes and proteins? How is ID actually applied in the field of abiogenesis? Can you tell us?
