how come oil exploration drillers don't use intelligent design or creationism to find their oil?

Question

"It is also necessary to note that in order for Intelligent Design to be true, these areas of science would be largely false: evolutionary biology, paleobiology, cosmology, astronomy, physics, paleontology, archeology, historical geology, zoology, botany, and biogeography, plus much of early human history. These fields of science make predictions and get results. ID makes no verifiable predictions and gets no useful results, and thus cannot in any way be called a science. A simple example of this is the field of oil exploration, where you won’t find any geologists using creationism or ID — because they don’t get results. And, with large amounts of money at stake, the companies want results."

Answer 1

Because, as you point out in your comment, "ID" is nonsense and is of no practical value.

Answer 2

I think you may not be understanding the theory of ID.
Before you go all quacky on me, I'm not the least bit religious, and I absolutely believe in the theory of evolution.
The theory of ID was supposed to discredit the natural selection that takes place in the theory of evolution, not to dispute the scientific study of any of the sciences that you mentioned.
You would not use ID to drill for oil, the theory supports the fact that humans are capable of exploring for oil, and of developing ways to retrieve it because we humans were "designed" to be able to do so. ID does not prevent us from determining how things came to be, it just says that things came to be because it was designed that way. It does not say that we should not participate in trying to gain further knowledge about our world.
It's just a different way of saying that God created the universe. It's a new attempt at injecting God into our schools. It's fuel for the argument that the theory of evolution should not be taught in schools, because it's unreasonable not to include all theories, especially if you ban creationism.
Just trying to help you to argue your point.
For the record, in case you didn't pick up on it before, I don't believe in creationism, or ID, or a higher being for that matter.

Answer 3

Because science is unconcerned with mythology. That is all ID is after all.
Thankfully the Dover decision has set a precedent. Can't do much for the morons in Kansas, I guess all of the buses will be short ones in that state....

Answer 4

Look everyone another "person" that thinks faith is outside the realms of common sense.. OK you hold your strange ideas of spontaneous creation. That's way to hard for me to except. I don't have that much faith...

Answer 5

I think it has something to do with the drillers preference for reality
