Does intelligent design have creationist roots?

Pandas is not about the history of ID, so most of your post is irrelevant to your point. I understand that you don't agree with Kenyon's observations about a process of changing perspectives he personally lived through but don't see the significance.Creationists and IDists consistently claim the facts are whatever they want them to be. They declare creationism science, then when that doesn't work they declare ID science, then they declare the two are unrelated, then they declare that ID is independent of any religious movement. And there are people who will believe you, but whenever the evidence is examined the truth is clear.--Percy
