In a Post-Acceptance-of-ID World, some researchers will be dealing with some questions that aren't dealt with today, but I don't think the nature of science itself will change much. Hi Freelurker,

"It's clear just how rational and scientific the basis for opposition to ID is."

It looks like you've been taking a sneak peek at tomorrow's word: Scienticific. :D

It's clear just how <i><em>rational</em></i> and <i><em>scientific</em></i> the basis for opposition to ID is.

But, Creationism is no "threat" to science, <i>if Creationism is scientific, and especially if Creationism is true</i>. If Creationism is <i><b>not</b></i> scientific, then one cannot scientifically invalidate it (contrary to multitudes of claims by atheists and evolutionists that it <i>has been scientifically invalidated). If Creationism is scientific, and </i><i><b>true</b></i>, then the only thing that would be "threatened" by it is not science, but an intellectual crutch for an atheistic, unbelieving world-view: namely, full-fledged Evolutionism. Far from Creationism having been debunked or invalidated, I've found the evidence to support it in the extreme, and the evidence to be against Evolution. Of course, that being the case, the evidence exudes "threatiness" to most scientists. Which is probably a large part of why most scientists don't want to allow schools to talk about that evidence - it's kind of like cooties.

He also told me that sometimes it takes a crazy person to see a threat and that, if so, Richard Dawkins is a freaking lunatic.

Too many scientists are worried that this initiative would have led to an onslaught of quote-mining. Another lab shut down by the quote-miners! Threatiness.
