Government money is peanuts compared to what religious organizations would contribute to any research that showed the promise of revealing a creator/designer.

Yeah, but that's no good - they want the imprimatur of science, such that their theological meanderings are defined as "science", with the legitimacy attendant to that. IOW, they want to join the club, and they'd really like it if the courts made it so they could join without paying any dues or otherwise meeting the membership requirements.

Exactly. Note the "How about I just smite thee" cartoon in the post before yours, and how the creationist's clothing and briefcase implies that he's a lawyer, forcing his way in by court action.
