I only got interested in the subject when I realized that just about all critics used the same tactic: ID isn't worth discussion and its supporters are deluded. But if I — no expert on science, I assure you — am able to cast a little bit of doubt on the anti-ID case, I have to wonder what someone who knows what they're talking about could do. For the time being, this issue is largely resolved, but it's likely to materialize again down the road. When it does, let's be a bit more rigorous — or should I say "scientific" — in the way we address it.
Oh yeah? Well what about reverse evolution?

huh, how do you explain that?
