Many in this discussion have taken the dogmatic view that the design inference cannot be part of science--it's religion and the two cannot be mixed. I would be interested to know where those who are so strongly inclined against even considering the design hypotheses stand on SETI. Does not SETI consist of combing through EM signals looking for sign of intelligence? Does not ID consist of combing the signals embedded in DNA searching for sign of intelligence? By all means, do not teach in the high schools as certainty that ET exists. Is it OK to mention in that venue that the search for ET is an ongoing activity? Regards, Jim
