Then mugs needs to be more careful with his terminology. The less-ethical ID proponents are known to use errors like that to either call evolution weak where it isn't, or to put their own nonsense on equal footing. We don't need to be giving them ammo.

I agree, but perhaps not for the same reason.

By creating such a subforum, no matter _what_ it's called, it implies that cdesign proponentists are somehow on the same footing as real biologists. I think it's counterproductive to grant them the legitimacy of even implying they're an "alternative" to a solid functioning theory built on the sweat of lifetimes of meticulous work.
