But It's All About the Science!
David Klinghoffer is over at the Undiscovery Institute's Ministry of Misinformation once again demonstrating that the real aim of Intelligent Design Creationism is theological, not scientific:Under a scientific view that leaves open the possibility that we really do reflect God's intelligent designing purpose, making us in a genuine sense his "handiwork" and the "fruit of [his] labor," we can make a plausible claim on his mercy. A very plausible claim, perhaps more so even than a child's claim on the mercy of his mortal father.
But under an extremely attenuated vision of God's involvement in our having come to existence, like that proposed by theistic evolutionists, it's much harder to see what claim I have on God's mercy. Not being his handiwork in any meaningful sense, exactly what relationship do I have to him?
Note that Klinghoffer's choice of ID is not based on its scientific merits but based on its compatibility with the theological position he prefers. Of course, that makes ID, in fact, a theological position, not a scientific one. Theistic evolution is also a theological position but it has the advantage of choosing its position based on the scientific facts about the world instead of ignoring, distorting and falsifying those facts.

Hence its inferiority to ID, in the DI's eyes.

Hence its inferiority to ID, to the DI's "thinking."

Thus its inferiority to ID, in the DI's view.
Well, I'm likely to quit trying if this ends up being deleted again. I don't quite get why that would be, while DM's boring repetitions are left here.

John:
Thanks for getting it to stick.
I didn't really suppose that I was being targeted, especially while the tired old rants were not (not at that time), but, unsurprisingly, it was tiresome seeing the thing published and then almost immediately deleted.
I guess if anyone reads this, it made it through somehow.
