The zeal by which you pricks attack scientists involved with ID shows without a doubt that your religion is EVOLUTION. It is obviously more than a science (if it is at all a science) to you. It is a way of life, held dear to your heart, sort of like Muslims but without the personal explosive devices.

Jesus motherfucking christ on a goddamn crutch, does EVERYTHING have to be a religion with you assholes? What the fuck is up with you?
ID-iots are not scientists.
Oh, my. He's right. I'm a Muslim without the suicide bomb. Thanks for saving me, Accident Reconstruction Man! I will now bow down to Jesus! Lord, praised be thy name!
Yes, we're all nasty people who just love to make ID'ers cry by pointing out; that the NFL theorem presupposes a random and disconnected search space; that 'irreducibly complex' structures in biology occur in hundreds of different organisms at various levels of completeness; that ID'ers went through their creationist 'textbooks' and simply substituted 'creation science' with 'intelligent design' in the months following a supreme court decision that teaching creation science was unconstitutional.
Yeah, we get off beating up ID'ers weak little lies with nasty hard facts. Next we're gonna come along and kick the sand of realism in their faces and steal their grlfriends.
@happymealungen:
No, you're right, they don't get it.
I question science just as agressively as I question religion. When God submits his output to 'peer-review', ARM can give me a call.
Yes, living by rational and logical assessment of the evidence is a way of life, however, only the most screwed up thinking can equate that with evolution being a religion. Congrats, ARM, you're this week's most stupid Fundie.

Win. Most people that accept scientific methods do so because the findings can be verified, the evidence can be looked at, etc. I question science, I look at the things I'm not sure of.
Religious dogma, on the other hand, just has a bunch of "but, I was told by my preacher..." and "this 2000 year old book says..."
"It is a way of life, held dear to your heart, sort of like Muslims but without the personal explosive devices."
No, I have the explosives. One day I'm gonna get me some fundies.
Darwin Akbar!
The zeal with which we attack ID and those involved with trying to ram it into schools in American and elsewhere is an indicator that we understand ID as it is presently taught to be nothing more than Young Earth Creationism with the serial numbers filed off.
Further, it also shows that we fully understand that ID has little to do with actual science, and a great deal to do with pushing an undesirable and dangerous religious, social and political agenda into educational institutions through the back door, so to speak.
Evolution isn't dear to my heart. Maintaining the objectivity and (for want of a better word) spirit of science is.
That involves developing theories based on what's there and quite emphatically not developing theories based on ancient superstition.
Their [the proponents of Christian "intelligent design"] discussion of the supposed weakness of evolution rests on a fallacy about the way science works. Scientific theory is never regarded as certain; it's continually confronted with testing, asking if it can explain what we can see in nature. That work is never finished. There are always some things left that haven't yet been explained. That's true of physics as well as biology.... This work goes on and on -- it's not a weakness of the theory. I don't regard it as a weakness of my own work that it hasn't explained everything in elementary particle physics.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
