Go to http://idea.berkeley.edu for the new website for UC Berkeley’s IDEA Club (IDEA = Intelligent Design & Evolution Awareness):
For too long the students have been dogmatically told that ID is just pseudo-scientific religious dogma. This website will offer Berkeley students accurate information on what ID is and is not. When students realize that ID does have scientific content behind the unfortunate politics, they will realize that the critics of ID on this campus are just arguing against themselves based on strawmen arguments. Their characterization of ID as “creationism in a cheap tuxedo” will only work if the students don’t read the ID material for themselves. It seems that incredulously asserting that ID theorists are bad scientists also works well . . . that is, until students read the material for themselves. The Big Bang Theory of the origin of the universe was initially rejected too, because the physicist who proposed it also happened to be a priest. However, today it is widely accepted among physicists and astronomers. Likewise, we want our fellow students across all disciplines to know the science of ID, regardless of the politics.
