Re: Removing ideologies from science
I'm sure you can think of worst examples of, shal we say, science without ideologies (Hitler's "science" expirements come to mind).
​
Isn't that science with extreme ideology?

Re: ID as science?
ID is religion lite, creationism with the serial numbers filed off in the hope of fooling school boards and legislators. It is a direct descendant of the creationism --> creation "science" --> "What do we do now?" problem as those previous attempts failed to fool the courts.
​
That's where it started, for sure, however ID is not under their control. It's the old "be careful of what you wish" problem.
​
What I see is a broadening of the creationist front, now that they have the option to move into ID and away from YEC. Denton comes to mind.
​
Personally, I would like to see ID in a Philosophy of Science course - what would seem to be it's strong-point, but to teach it through logic first.
​
Enjoy.
