I guess this flap was inspired by the “Expelled” crap. Derbyshitre is 100% right. A scientist has a job to provide a natural explanation for natural phenomena, based on previous laws, observations and experiments. ID, which is just Creationism in a cheap lab coat, is contrary to the core purpose of Science. Could you imagine if everytime a technical or scientific problem arose and these so called Scientitst threw up their hands and said”
“It’s too complicated, there has to be some sort of ID(good old God) involved, Better not try to examine it further or we might upset some religious crank.”
My respect for Derbyshire for bucking the petty anti-intellectual crackpots on the right when it would have been expedient for him to tow his NRO’s party line.
