0052 The world is inverted.  Above us stands the celestial ocean of Big Government (il)Liberalism (BG(il)L).  Below ushovers an atmosphere where Christianity, Judaism and Islam are designated “religions”, and therefore excluded, by the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution, from public (that is, state) institutions, especially schools.  Their sublimation begins during the 1960s.

Die-hard Christians respond by generating something that appears to be science.  Creation science makes claims about natural events verifying Biblical witness.

In 1981, the leviathan of BG(il)L public education sweeps down to the surface and attacks the little ship, The Creation Science, and ruins its effectiveness.  Creation Science does not properly follow style of the empirio-schematic judgment.  The McLean case distinguishes between science and religion on the basis of methodology.

0054 The captain of the ship lost one leg.  But, he fashions a new one in the style of the empirio-schematic judgment.  He rebuilds the ship, branding it The Intelligent Design.

In 2005, the leviathan is again provoked to come down through the celestial waters and attack the ship.  The ship has a lance that pierces the skin of the leviathan.  The Intelligent Design forces experts, such as Pennock, to come up with a demarcation that is situational.  Intelligent Design does not follow the rule of the naturalist intellect.  That rule says, “No metaphysics.”

In addition, the naturalist’s rule is not based on anything physical.  So, the rule must be metaphysical.

0055 These comments reveal how the rule plays out.  Metaphysics must be hidden within the presence of the thing itself, the noumenon_1b, which is contiguous with those properties that can be observed and measured, the phenomena_1b.  The [contiguity] mirrors the rule.  A noumenon_1b [cannot be objectified as] its phenomena_1b.

Here is how that looks.

0056 What does The Intelligent Design do that the Creation Science does not?

The Intelligent Design is equipped with an empirio-schematic judgment that observes and measures phenomena that do not fully add up to their noumenon, the thing itself.  ID favors things that are very complicated, such as the bacteria’s flagellum or the human immune system, where many components are observed and measured_1a.  Their corresponding phenomena_1b can never explain the thing itself: the bacteria swims and the human recovers from an illness.  The models_2aare never sufficient.  The whole is so much greater than the parts.  The investigator experiences awe.  The investigator is struck by a noumenon, but cannot say so, since “religion” is banished from disciplinary language.

The empirio-schematic judgment_2b is supposed to virtually emerge from (and situate) mechanical and mathematical models_2a.  Methodological_a naturalism_b has a redundancy.  The situation-level actuality_2b re-capitulates the content-level nested form_a.  The situation-level actuality_2b completes the content-level nested form_a.  There should be no surplus_2b, because any surplus_2b flows into something_1b that cannot be objectified as phenomena_1b.  This something_1b is where metaphysics is hidden, according to the dictates of the naturalist intellect_3b.  ID aims to show that the noumenon_1b has a life_c of its own, a life_1c that his hidden by the rule of the naturalist intellect_3b on the order of someone or something upstairs_2c.

Here is how that looks.

0057 That’s one way to game Pennock’s system.In 2005, the celestial leviathan mauls, but does not destroy the ship, The Intelligent Design.  Plus, the leviathan takes a lance into its flank.  The lance reveals the barbed fact that the leviathan depends on a metaphysical rule, stating that metaphysics is not allowed in science. The rope tied to the lance is long.  Perhaps, 14 years long.  Cheers.
