As an atheist, I am alarmed when people try to mark religious belief as science.
As an engineer, I am alarmed when people try to mark scientific believe as science. People should stop and think about how science isn't really that scientific. Almost every physics formula I know is at best a gross approximate of what scientists *think* is correct. When you figure in special relativity, charge interactions, etc. we see how F=ma is not actually correct. It is most likely that Einstein's theories of relativity are not 100% correct either. Someone will certainly come up with new and more accurate ways of describing our physical world, but those methods will have holes as well. It bothers me when people complain how 'wrong' religion is when science is 'wrong' for the same reason. As a side note, Darwin's theory is still a theory. Please don't pass it off as a scientific law. If you all still cannot prove the theory of evolution after 150 years, something is wrong.
... Intelligent Design is peddled again and again without the proponents bringing any new ideas to the table.
This is for a good reason: Christian belief is centered around the Bible and is therefore unchanging. Don't get upset when people decide to keep their own beliefs intact instead of simply going with whatever the media and the ACLU thinks.
