This is very interesting ...

... Standing Up For What You Don't Believe. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

All theories of wide explanatory scope in science are eventually shown to be empirically false, usually because they overreach their grasp. From that standpoint, Darwinists appear to be postponing the inevitable. Of course, that doesn’t make ID true, but ID may be well-positioned to point out the deep systemic flaws in Darwinism that Darwinists themselves have no incentive to recognise, let alone explore.

Lest anyone forget, I do not myself subscribe to ID theory. I am also skeptical of a too-wide application of Darwinism. I think Richard Dawkins's meme idea (it hardly deserves to be called a theory) is rubbish.
