Just as evolutionists suspect ID supporters of having a "wedge" motive (to open the science classroom to the supernatural creativity of God), many creationists suspect evolutionists of having an "anti-wedge" motive (to limit science to the pre-conceived conclusion that natural causes alone are sufficient to account for evolution). --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 11:38, 31 August 2007 (EDT)

: This surely leaves scope for a further distinction, between Old Earth ID who believe in some sort of 'guided evolution' (if that is not a contradiction, I don't think so) and Old Earth ID who believe planet created 4 bn years ago or whenever, and all species created about 6,000 years ago as per Genesis. Or perhaps another in between accepting existence of dinosaurs at the generally accepted dating (i.e. more than 60m years ago) but humans being created by God in the Biblically accepted way. Possibly more distinctions besides. [[User:WilliamofOcham|WilliamofOcham]] 11:12, 18 December 2007 (EST)
: BTW I promised myself I would not get involved in any of this stuff, given my area of specialisation almost completely unrelated to evolution and astronomy. But I am intrigued nonetheless. [[User:WilliamofOcham|WilliamofOcham]] 11:12, 18 December 2007 (EST)
