Creationism, ID, theistic evolution...what will they call it next?
So I was just thinking (Don't worry, no brain matter leaked out) and was wondering what the creationist lobby will call it next? This came to me because I was thinking about the Wedge strategy and that it wouldn't surprise me at all if we started hearing a new metaphor for creationism. I don't think it will be anything like Devine Construction or anything too obvious. I think it will be more like some sort of mumbo jumbo trying to sound scientific along the lines of Flux Capacitor or something like that.
Anyway, just a little rambling on my part.

"Creation Science" (cough) is the popular term for creationism now, I guess.
If McCain/Palin get into office, I fear they will call it "the Law".
To go along with the Creation Science Center I bet.
Which is why they do not get my vote. I hope enough people realize this and do not vote McPalin.
I think they would probably just try the normal first approach of saying Intelligent design louder and slower a few times.
Or perhaps 'directed selection theory'. But of course if by some miracle it was accepted it would have to be called directed selection theory theory... which I'm sure they wouldn't mind as now it sound twice as scientific
logic and reason will tell you can't fly but with faith and belief you can fly as much as you like. Is it any wonder the latter is far more attractive...
Yep, theists are always trying to defeat Dorathy because she exposed the man behind the curtain.

he-he
to the op: hope they don't try and use (claim) the word rational.
As in rational design.
Just ask Luminon what he calls it.
I imagine it's 'interesting'?
You know what scares me about this species? Most people don't know what the word "theist" means, but are far to ready to condem "atheists".

How about 'Divine Science'; that is, science that has the capability to ignore the laws of the universe in which real science has established them to be.
Well it does explain why I suffered acedemically in highschool. When popular media sells antacid with the slogan, "Rolaids spells relief", it is no wonder youth can't spell and believe that ghosts knock up girls and if they blow themselves up they will get 72 virgins.
ROLAIDS SPELLS ROLAIDS! Now here is the burning question humanity should put on the front burner. Why isn't the word "phonetic" spelled "fonetic"? YOU WOULD THINK!

Since they will want it to sound as legitmate and rational as possible they will come up with something like directed propagation.

Haha. That's a good one!
How about shitforbrainsism?
That would be a good one too.
How 'bout good old fashioned "bullshit? "
That's good Matt, but that's what i call it now so maybe it will change to Belief of the Fucktards.
How about The Theory of External Spiritual Forces. ( i know lame but eh...)
Maybe they'll just tack it on to something that they feel is more universally accepted, and fuck the whole thing up anyway.
"Keplers laws of Planetary motion and directed decendency"
Or they might just try and take the whole thing over and just start calling it evolution...
No, there's already something else they call evolution that actually has nothing to do with actual evolution. It's what they constantly argue against whenever they're trying to build support for creationism.
Organised religion is the ultimate form of blasphemy.
