  1. Religious Essence of Intelligent Design(Forrest in Evolution The Molecular Landscape, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2009, this slide and the next with the quote from Phillip Johnson) Not a single expert witness over the course of the six week trial identified one major scientific association society or organization that endorsed ID as science….We have concluded that it is not [science], and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious antecedents (Jones 2005)

  2. Phillip Johnson, major proponent of ID in an interview: I also don’t think that there is really a theory of intelligent design at the present time to propose as a comparable alternative to the Darwinian theory, which is, whatever errors it might contain, a fully worked out scheme. There is no intelligent design theory that comparable. Working our a positive theory is the job of the scientific people that we have affiliated with the movement. Some of them are quite convinced that it’s doable ,but that’s for them to prove….No product is ready for competition in the education world.
