I asked what testable theories have the alt science people produced? It's kinda like those armchair fighters who say Anderson Silva is over rated because he doesn't fight in a traditional way regardless of the fact he had beaten everyone he has fought. When you ask them what style they practice, they don't.
Now on to the structuralism. I read the Science Daily articles and could you please explain to me how those articles disprove evolution and proves intelligent design? My reading comprehension must be really bad because I couldn't find it. If anything, they're more evidence for a common ancestor through evolutionary means.
All I ever see ID people do is scream "You don't fully understand that so God did it!" and when they are shown to be wrong, they keep screaming the same thing over and over again as in the case of Casey Luskin and the bacteria flagellum. If you're theories are so strong, give me one that can be tested via observation or experimentation.
I dont recall saying this proved ID. If you read back i said it does not prove ID, but its just part of a set of ideas they like. Lately its gone further than that. the ID people are well funded. Its a business for them. Their believers cherished mental domains are under attack. So the ID people try to hire some shit hot scientists, to dig out every weakness in evolution, get it on the research agenda, and just keep at it.
Science has a policy to ignore ID science, so that means they are shooting themselves in the foot. Because these are topics the evolutionists should be researching, they then will not touch it because the ID crew are all over it.
ID then get the chance to take control over the domain and strangely lately have become the better scientists on evolution. All they have to do is find an area of evolution (for which they are plenty) with problems. Make statements on research intentions. Mainstream science runs away from researching said domain. ID keeps at it and takes a win.
Even though none of it proves ID ... very strange state of affairs. Thats politics of science for you. Its value for ID is it makes good press release.
