It is very difficult for me to believe that someone could say that smear tactics have been from the ID side. I have been reading around on the net for many months now, and it appears to me that the false representation and outright nastiness toward ID is far ahead of any tendency to rational argument. I hardly ever see it going in the opposite direction. I read a lot of the links to articles posted in the media. In my own hometown newspaper, someone did a writeup of ID that not only was false, but he insinuated that if ID were to prevail, modern medicine would go out the window and we would rely on faith healers. This is a high level of hysteria and paranoia.
Of course, I have tried to discuss with ID or religious folks a little bit about why they might need to own up to how christianity has caused a certain amount of fear, but no one answers.
Go to the Discovery Institute and read what they have to say about the wedge document. They disown the wedge document and that should be good enough.There are dishonest and fundamentalist people out there aplenty. I don't think the document is actually from those reconstructionist types and some of the points from the wedge DI agrees with. You might want to have a look.
