Reading my statement above out of context, it is possible to come to the conclusions Manx is responding to here. However, an in context reading of all my statements in this thread indicates I do not see ID as a "religious" philosophy but as a competing theory as potentially scientific as evolution. That has been my position here.
The comment(s) I make regarding religious views as deserving of the same respect we typically offer to other groups/philosophies has to do with my previous statements where I have made general observations that those who conflate ID and religious views are in error and also that the sort of respect shown those with religious views by many secularists in general and in this forum in particular is sorely lacking.
