We don't see other religons pushing their versions of ID because we live in North America. Other religons don't get the air time that Christians get.
Assuming that Christians did articulate ID, it stll has nothing to do with Jesus. It's a theory that stands independently. It's no more unique to Christianity than the ideas of martyrdom, forgiveness, or evil. |
No ID in this context is basically a trademark or code-word of conservative Christianity in the United States, used in order to replace more controversial words like creationism in textbooks, articles, and legal arguments. Go back and read posts 99 and 100. The current concept has just caught a little weight and has been adopted by other religious groups seeking to articulate their beliefs in the same manner. The etymology of the word is very modern. This is a telelogical argument engineered solely to confront and combat modern science which threatens the rigid beliefs of those who fiercely subscribe to ID. We are not talking about creation myths which are common to many ancient theologies.
