Re: Analogies
I think we already just saw the full range of buz's contribution in the "Ten Signs" thread. He's a stick in the mud and he's not coming out until he's fossilized.

Tell you what, you continue to use and understand evolution in your broad interpretation. None of our posts will make sense to you, but hey, you get to decide your very own pet meaning of evolution. None of your posts will make sense to anyone else, mind you.
Good job!I think you have summed up in three sentences what has happened in almost every discussion with every creationist that I have read since I started hanging out here.

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie
If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy

Because it's already in the public realm of science, and is of great interest to atheists. 93% of the National Academy of Sciences are atheists. They are in control of science.
I think you are incorrect....it is the only thing that interests atheists. Atheist and Abiogenesis both start with "A". Coincidence? I think not. Atheists have already taken over science and business, schools and churches, Congress, the World, even the Galaxy, so you better watch your step!
And even more amusingly, 'Origin of Species' was NOT peer reviewed material, something that's always required of ID! Still another double standard.
Actually, it has been under review for 150 years. It has to be one of the most reviewed books in history.
1) How would studies of ID be affected depending on the identity of the designer, and
2) Where is documentation that shows that the scientific community was trying to separate evolution from abiogenesis before 1953?
1) So far, there have not been any studies of ID, so if any of your listed designers were actually shown to exist, someone might actually want to study ID.
2) As others have already pointed out, by Darwin in 1860, in Origin of Species.
I have to ask you, are you pissed because no ID supporters are interested in doing any scientific research into ID (they are only interested in saying evolution is wrong), or are you pissed because no actual scientists are interested in conducting research on ID?
Scientists, at least the ones I know, go into the fields of research that personally interests them. Do you think someone should order scientist to study ID? I seem to remember some foundation (Templeton?) that was offering to fund research into ID. Any Nobel winners yet?
