Is ID Scientific? (was "Abusive Assumptions")

Human prokarotic cell? Am I confused here, or are you claiming the humas have prokaryotic cells?

Hi again:Ok, we've solved the prokaryotic/eukaryotic mistake, so let's move on. This does necessarily follow. Are you saying that without a cell, life does not exist and therefore the cell had to be intelligently designed? Why? First off, remember that evolutionary theory deals with life, so what came before is not addressed by the ToE. Really? Why? A cell membrane is so complex that chemistry cannot explain its existence? A phosolipid bilayer is beyond mans comprehension and therefore has to be the result of a designer?Let me ask you this: Do you believe that once a cell appeared (either by design or by natural processes), evolution may have done the rest? If so, then why do you believe that the only possible explanation for the cell is a designer? Why couldn’t processes similar to ToE also be used to explain the appearance of the first cells?

But that's not the entire quote, is it Evopeach. Darwin went on to add: "But I can find no such case". I, for one, am looking forward to D.I. scientists doing some actual science as it relates to the ToE. Can't wait....all giddy with excitement...thrilled even. And by this you must mean that via falsification (or lack there of), they will "carefully and deliberately show that ID and ICS do not fall under the realm of sciencethus showing their novel understanding of what really constitutes scientific investigation and their new, unwavering support for the theory of evolution. Correct?

And how many are evolutionary biologists? Looks like someone needs to visit the Coffee House thread about Annoyances and read post No 30... I could not care less about what you suspect. When they do some actual science, perhaps then they will be taken seriously by the scientific community. What do you "suspect" some of their scientific alternatives might be? Really, I'd be interested in reading just what you think qualifies as science. What...am I suppose to shocked and awed by their pedigree? My brother went to Michigan, Stanford and MIT and he knows diddly squat about the Theory of Evolution...so what's your point...that I should abandon the science behind evolutionary biology and instead listen to my brother (an aerospace engineer) spout on about probabilities? He does, however, know a lot about physics and quite a bit chemistry, so I would not classify him as a non-scientist. At the same time, he is misinformed and I call him a dunderhead quite often. I suspect your very impressive list of people would fall into a same category.
