Revision as of 15:19, March 13, 2008
, 15:19, March 13, 2008→Exactly what does ID have to do with religion?: about as much as evolution has to do with atheism
Are there any churches called "the Church of the Intelligent Designer?" Are there any religious books that teach the religious precepts of the ID religion? Are there any theological seminaries devoted to the ID religion? If ID is a religion, then is it exempt from being taxed? [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinxmchue]] 10:28, 13 March 2008 (EDT)

:No, ID is not a religion. But it does have religious implications and it does have a lot of support from some religions (theistic ones) and a lot opposition from others (atheistic ones). [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:58, 13 March 2008 (EDT)

::The [[theory of evolution]] provides a justification for [[materialism]] and [[atheism]], while ID provides a justification for [[creationism]] and [[religion]]. There is no way to separate science from religious ideas (including "anti-religious" ideas).
::Liberals argue that since ID justifies religious belief it '''must be''' religious, but that makes no more sense than to argue that since the theory of evolution justifies atheism it '''must be''' anti-religious.
::Conservatives don't want censorship; they are not afraid of the [[marketplace of ideas]]. Only liberals want censorship.
