The False Dichotomy Between Faith and Science

Those who oppose the concept of Intelligent Design do so by describing it as being based on faith and not on science. Implied in this is the judgement that faith is inferior to science. Furthermore, there is the hidden implication that faith is equivalent to religion.

This is nothing but an evasion of the issue, a suppression of evidence.

No less than the revered Charles Krautheimer of Foxnews put down Intelligent Design in this manner. Normally astute on political issues, Krautheimer became a sorry apologist for Darwin last night.
