But the most damning case against Intelligent Design (and its Creationist agenda) is not the use of the term Creator, but the quantity of Creators. Why must there be only one, supreme Creator? Is it not just as feasible for there to be several? After all, a watch is made of parts manufactured by several different people. Here is where the true agenda comes bleeding through. For all their supposed scientific blandishments, the monotheism comes ringing out. Intelligent Design adherents have no more demonstrable proof of a single entity acting as Creator than I do for proposing multiple, equal entities acting in the same way.
In the end, all Beau Schaefer’s Creationism was teaching was that evolution is broken because it does not account for a Christian god as the only method for explaining life. It would be just as invalid if he were teaching that all creation came from Vishnu’s navel, Pangu’s broken egg or the thawing of the Giant Ymir. The crossing over of unexplainable (and unquestionable) religious beliefs into science should never, ever be acceptable.
