No, it's not. One of the first things you do when you have a virus to study in virology is to find a 'model' - ie a host that will be susceptible that isn't a human one, but which you can test for treatments for. That's just virology - he gives other examples at the level of cell biology. It's a fundamental tool in the science of medicine.

It could be, but it isn't

Most of which is a fraud to make teaching of religious bullshit in schools.

Sure. And I've even seriously considered putting together a grant proposal to the discovery institute, to really flesh out an idea of a computational basis for intelligent design that I had when I was a student, to pay my rent.
