- pbhjpbhj 16y agoIntelligent design can not be falsified, creationism [as it is normally presented] can. They are quite different.
- pohl 16y agoInteresting, you must be exposed to a strange variety of creationism that I've never encountered. The creationists I have encountered are always willing to ascribe miracles and motivations to god to explain away any evidence that is contrary to their belief - making falsification impossible. The two have never been different in any meaningful way by my experience here in Nebraska. ID is just a trojan horse built by creationists to try to get creationism into the schools. Edit, FWIW: turns out a court agrees: "...The plaintiffs successfully argued that intelligent design is a form of creationism, and that the school board policy thus violated..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitzmiller_v._Dover_Area_School_District http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitzmiller_v._Dover_Area_School...
