Re: An easy trap to fall into
then when science provides evidence to the contrary, rather then adjusting their understanding and reexamining their translations, they put up a fight and make themselves look like raving lunatics.
This is a big part of the issue. Rather than doing as you suggest, ID attempts to redefine the scientific method.
They also do not peer review anything.
This is what Behe said under cross examination:
Michael Behe writes:
"there are no peer reviewed articles by anyone advocating for intelligent design supported by pertinent experiments or calculations which provide detailed rigorous accounts of how intelligent design of any biological system occurred",

Pretty damning, neh?

Re: An easy trap to fall into
As I explained above, you have it backwards. Just to reiterate, science looks for answers. When they find an unknown, they attempt to bring it into the realm of the known. Only the ID lobby look for gaps in knowledge. When they find such a gap, they hold it up for all to see, triumphant at having found a refuge for their little god. They make no attempt to banish the gap in understanding by actually seeking more evidence. That would ruin the game. In truth, they worship these gaps as much as they worship any god.
What a delightfully succinct, elegant way of putting it.
