It’s not really creationism, you just need to add water and God!
Michael Behe, the not-so Socratic Gadfly of Intelligent Design, got cornered on the witness stand in the Dover school district intelligent design teaching suit Oct. 18. Just take a look at this whopper.
Behe personally believes the designer was God but said that belief was not part of his intelligent design theory.
Buuuuttt…
A lawyer for the parents produced an article by Behe saying the theory of intelligent design would be undermined without the existence of God. Earlier in the day Behe denied intelligent design was equivalent to creationism.
Behe then tries to find wiggle room:
“Creationism is a theological concept but intelligent design is a scientific theory,” Behe said. “One can be a creationist without any physical evidence. That's 180 degrees different from intelligent design.”
In other words, “nothing in this hand, nothing in that hand. Watch me as I now remove God from the ‘God plus water!’ Folks, thanks for your applause, but that’s nothing. I learned that from the George and Harriett wink-wink, nudge-nudge school of Supreme Court candidates.”
