Good examples... I'd tweak your example Bill and expand. E is to S as, Paranoid Schizophrenia is to Mental Health, (depending upon the day, hour, or minute, evolution changes and can be quite violent reaction for no logical reason) or E is to S as, Sybil is to Einstein Two, three, four or more faces of random variation personality vs one logical mind. or, a historical moment of physical obliteration perhaps more apropos of NDE's inevitable extinction by way of random mutational hits.... E is to S as, Shoemaker-Levy Comet is to the Earth Or in recognitin of Gilder's enlightened moment, Evolutionist are to Science as, Earth and Heaven are to The Living Word, the everlasting I AM.Michaels7

Good point Alan. I had materialistic philosophy in mind, so how about: XX = Speculation Based on a Commitment to Philosophical Naturalism (a little wordy, but oh well) YY = Engineering and I'll add XX = Perpetual-Motion Machines YY = Jet TurbinesGilDodgen

Hey, Gil, you might want to change your last entry from "philosophical speculation" to just plain "speculation", "fanciful speculation", or something like that. Philosophy - good philosophy, that is - is on the side of the angels in the ID debate, as attested by the likes of Bill, Paul Nelson, Jay Richards, etc. Anyway, here are a couple of my suggestions: E is to S as Dr. Strangelove is to Einstein. E is to S as Gilligan is to Admiral Lord Nelson.Alan Rhoda
