And I ALSO said (which you conveniently left out):
"We'll all assume if no one can do that, that you're just being deceptive and shady and that your true agenda is NOT to improve humankind's understanding of the universe - but that it is to make us revert to the intellectual dark ages, where no one knew anything, and the "mystics" and "wizards" were in charge, to dictate "god's word" at a whim."

And I'll refer you to this quote from my previous post, in reponse to the above:
"See, I understand why you don't - if you did state what your theory was, we could actually talk about it, and discuss it on its own merits, which, I have to assume, are few and not very meritorious, since you can't seem to bring yourself to state your theory."
Maybe you can be the messenger to Michael Behe for us. Anyways, I have to say, QUITTNER, that this is the most complete closure any thread on this board has probably EVER had. And while I couldn't have expected you to come out and say, "Yes, ID is NOT science, and we're playing dishonest games with it, but we're Lying for the Lord! Can't you see? It's for The Childrens!!" you ought to know that you pretty much just did.
And, of course, anyone else is more than welcome to respond if they have anything else to say (Wade? I was hoping you'd post so we could actually have a discussion... Just make sure to read the first post of the thread (the rest in the middle aren't very important and don't say anything substantial).
