I keep hearing about how the Wedge document is evidence that IDers are political, but evolutionists fail to recognize that the Wedge document is simply responding to evolutionists and materialists existing social/political/quasi-religious status.
The insistence that we are purely material, and by material, I mean an outdated concept of "material", a Newtonian version already outdated by QM, is a fundamentally religious, social, and political claim of materialists, and the Wedge document is quite right to assert this is a false application of science.
Using Occam's Razor is not religious, social, or political.
For example, the 6 invisible pixies that are pushing on the front of my car, and the 6 invisible pixies that are pushing equally hard on the back of my car, get cut by the Razor. They're unneeded additional entities. I'm not saying that they're not there -- I'm simply saying that it doesn't
matter. Their existence is irrelevant. That's not a religious, political, or social claim -- it's merely the
truth.
If we find an area in which the invisible pixies actually affect something, their existence becomes relevant. Again, that would not be a religious, political, or social claim -- it'd merely be the truth.
