Patterns... Pattern institute?

An institute that finds patterns in DNA does NOT imply design. A 'seti' type institute investigating ID would only make the investigation of ID scientific; it would not make ID a scientific theory at all. One can make a scientific study of anything at all from fairies to astrology; that does not make fairies, astrology or anything between 'scientifc'.

ID just isn't science.

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

So the teacher asks the kid

Do you have a fairy godmother?
Kid says, No but I have an uncle that we're kind of suspicious of..

it is a philosophy, noted soft science much like psychology - (boxley) - (73) - Dec. 4, 2005, 10:06:58 AM EST

I feel that the other examples are not sciences either - (ben_tilly) - (48) - Dec. 4, 2005, 09:39:09 PM EST

Agreed, social science might be a better descriptive - (boxley) - (47) - Dec. 5, 2005, 01:22:41 PM EST

You are right that those are missing... - (ben_tilly) - (46) - Dec. 5, 2005, 10:03:44 PM EST
