It's a joke. It is an insult to human intelligence. Check out the link to the AAAS Project 2061 I posted earlier. Among other things available on the site is a teacher resource guide titled Evolution on the Front Line: An Abbreviated Guide for Teaching Evolution. On page 22 they touch briefly on the subject of ID in the classroom. Please note that they don’t even grace the concept of ID with the title of hypothesis. They just call it a “hypothetical claims about the history of the universe and of life.” One of the conclusions reached during the process of this ongoing 25 plus year old study is that the preexisting misconceptions people hold need to be addressed during the education process. Our kids are going to continue to cling to the idea of ID if we don’t take the time to explain to them why it is not a theory that competes with evolution on the issue of the diversity of species.

Yeah, the only thing scientific about creation is perhaps the psychology of the people who believe it to be true. It's just as scientific as Rumpelstiltskin or any other made up story.

I think churches should be required to teach the controversy...

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Church isn't a lab tho'!
Yeh, it is, it's a brain washing lab.

 George Bernard Shaw Wrote:What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child. Ran across this quote today. I think it relates to the topic quite well.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
