Collin has carried teh stupid over on to the next Adam and Eve thread:
| Quote | Nick,
I know a lot of people have responded to you and I don’t want you to feel “piled on.” But your statement was provocative, you must admit.
ID is a big tent. It can accommodate many views. Most creationists would feel comfortable with ID, so they are supporters of ID. There are some non-creationists who support ID. I admit that there are only a few, but their ideological background does not tell us if ID is right or wrong. After all, if Hitler said that 2 plus 2 is 4 and Gandhi said 2 plus 2 is 5, would you agree with Gandhi because he was a good person while Hitler was not? And if creationists WANT ID to be true does this therefore make it untrue?
One definition of maturity is that you do something even though your parents want you to do it. In other words, you do something (or believe something) regardless of whether or not people you don’t like or otherwise disagree with believe similarly. You could believe in ID too one day! Dont make the conversion any more painful for your ego than it has to be.
Also, this blog talks about a lot of issues, theology, climate change, creationism, biology, geology, history, computer science etc. There is no law that it must not dip its toe into creationism and it does not mean that ID is the same thing as creationism even though they share some mutual support.
And finally, scientists that discuss this issue often refer to the hypothetical first people as “adam and eve” even though they fully support evolution. It’s just an easy way to identify the idea.

ASSF! Love the thought that Nick Matzke might "believe in ID too one day!".
