So What CAN They Explain?

ID advocates held a conference at Southern Methodist University recently, much to the dismay of its more intelligent students and faculty. Some students protested it with science, with signs asking questions like
Why do the ribosomes (protein synthesizing machinery) in our mitochondria match those of bacteria?
Micheal Behe decided to address this question posed by the protesters. His answer is as shocking as it is predictable:
His answer was that ID theory does not allow for explanations regarding interspecies commonalities such as those implied in the question.
So ID, this revolutionary super-duper-supernatural anti-materialistic paradigm-shifting mega-scientific theory can't explain...shit. And while evolutionary theory explains interspecies commonalities, ID--which its advocates maintain will replace evolutionary theory any minute now--doesn't/can't/won't even attempt to explain them.

  1. *snicker* I'm just glad the IDers' "Creator" isn't still hurling "ribosomes all over the place". That could put an eye out.

  2. It just goes to show that the real goal of the IDiots is to riddle science with "Secrets Man Was Not Meant To Know" card. What kills me is that they keep showing their hand. Don't they know that all these acknowledgments will show up in the next court case. Or maybe they know that, after Judge Jones' exquisite ruling, none will ever come up again.
