It seems to have elluded some people that science says nothing
about the nature and/or existence of any God ... it simply attempts
to uncover the 'rules' that nature appears to follow.
The existence or non-existence of God is in no way connected to the existence or non-existence of a naturalistic mechanism for evolution. This is where IDC conflates the accepted guidelines of scientific inquiry with ontological naturalism (i.e. atheism).
Intelligent design creationism has never announced the standards according to which their science would proceed. How their experiments would demonstrate consistency or repeatability without the traditional naturalistic constraint has never been explained.
IDC's charge that science has been unfairly monopolized by methodological naturalism sounds like postmodern relativism. However, its core constituency of fundamentalist Christians would be more likely to agree with the objectivism inherent in IDC's assertion that there exists absolute Truth that science is too blindfolded by atheistic assumptions to recognize.
Can IDC possibly be both? Can anything?
