> What I just wrote is IMO the single biggest difference between EC/TE and ID. Contrary to what Steven Meyer believes, differences of opinion about the merits and scope of “methodological naturalism” aren’t the biggest difference, as important as they might be. It’s this: the claim that ID is itself scientific, and that it directly competes with scientific theories to answer the same questions.

@TedDavis TE is not better than ID and not better than YEC and OEC. Any theology in science makes science not science. Evolutionary science needs no help nor assistance from Theology.
