"He told a federal judge Monday that in the book, he made a scientific argument that blood-clotting 'is poorly explained by Darwinian processes but well explained by design.'"
I'm sorry, but just because science doesn't adequately explain one thing doesn't mean it's all wrong. And saying "something really really smart just made it that way" doesn't really explain anything at all. How did heit do it?
You know that I personally have a very extreme version of ID (i.e. everything since the big bang has followed purely natural principles, but god defined those principles when he caused the big bang). Science is a process in which we propose falsifiable ideas about how things work. Just because a process hasn't been explained completely doesn't mean that the theory is wrong (we still don't know how gravity works, only that it does, but I don't see anyone saying that god is over there tying rubberbands between pieces of matter)
