Yet how many ID supporters would accept classes teaching super advanced aliens as a theory for the variety of life on earth?
IF they were honest in their intentions, this would be a non-issue.
After all, hypothetical aliens *do* count as possible intelligent designers and moreover have the advantage over gods in that aliens are physical and can be tracked.
But most insist on a supernatural designer, which has a most unfortunate flaw.
Any slot that god could fill as an intelligent designer cannot be denied magical fairies.
the motives of the ID people is pretty clear: they want their religion taught. pointing out any kind of logic is not going to work.
you: but what about aliens.. do we teach that too?
them: why would we.. it is not "truth" we know "truth" and it is this ( insert religion )
to them it is truth, absolute truth.
