I want people to list all the common acronyms that pertain specifically to these threads (science and origins) for new comers to help them understand us better. Here are a couple to get you started. Thanks.
UCD = Universal common decent (the notion that all organisms share a common ancestor
PCD = Primate common decent
DI = Discovery Institute
TOE = theory of evolution
EOE = Edge of evolution (after a book my Michael Behe concerning the limitations of evolution)
IC = Irreducibly complex (Coined by Michael Behe)
SC = specified complexity (Coined by William Dembski)
CSI = Complex specified Information (Same as SC)
ID = Intelligent Design
OET = Old earth theorist
YEC = Young Earth Creationist

I'm still trying to figure out what NDE stands for. Dang, I forgot all about RM and NS and you beat me to some others  . Btw, I think you meant to say SC, not SI (I think you got CSI confused with SC).

Don't forget GTE. I have just been accused by drmark of not getting "it". Does anyone here know what GTE is?

I find it odd that ID proponents call evolution materialistic and then take the materialistic approach to finding the ID or Creator.
