ID Goes International?

From the beginning ID has been about “Theism”, finding common ground with Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Especially in Turkey, there has been a lot of uptake, and it has spread. As I understand it, just like in the US, it is strongest among the more “fundamentalist” factions. Strange bedfellows, right?

Maybe not… Historically Darwinism (i am not talking about scientific understanding) has been associated with a particular Zeitgeist… it is often credited with a role in the rise of materialism as a philosophy… In its rise, it also had strange bed fellows from the other side of the bed. So its not surprising the politics pans out this way…
Science may be neutral… but its interpretations are not!.

You’ve been reading too many ID narratives @Ashwin_s .

I do not think there is good theological grounding for dividing the world between theism and atheism. That is not a sensible division in my view. I do not think it can be justified. There is great evil done in the name of both generic and specific theism.
