That’s much easier to do when one abandons truth.
One answer: teaching our children the difference between science and pseudoscience.
Behe is a good writer. My main issue with his style is that he relies on his analogies way too much (rather than actual examples) and then spends more time explaining how his theories apply to the analogies than to real life. Sorry to sound snarky, but I suppose one reason is that his theories fit his analogies much better than they do real life.

I see what you are saying. For me, the analogies help, but I can see how it would be bothersome to one who is already a content expert. It didn’t seem that you were being snarky at all.

It’s easier to articulate a clear message when one abandons the truth?? You think you can’t make science interesting enough using similar venues to articulate a technically correct and equally appealing message??
This is exactly what I’m talking about as well. Just do it as well as they are doing it.
The clear message is out there. It is not a failure to communicate. The issue has been trust. ID has built trust with audiences that are alienated by aggressive atheists. The reason they are believed is because they are trusted.

Don’t blame us. ID came directly from the Christian Fundamentalist Right and is still sustained financially by them. Without funding they would crumble.
Yes everyone feels they are the aggrieved, and perhaps everyone is. That doesn’t change the facts. The missing ingredient is trust.
