This said, I think we should cut through the bull about opposing intelligent design in the interest of maintaining the "integrity" of science classes, and recognize that *most* of those who incessantly bash the notion of intelligent design do so because they chaff at the idea that there is a Designer behind all of life that they are ultimately responsible to.

Most of us Christians who bash ID do so because ID is not anything. It's not science and it takes time away from teaching people anything in biology class.

It's not religion because it says it's not.

It would be better if all the ID supporters would be honest and just say that they'd like to see Christian electives based on the Bible, offered in public school.

I'd support that.

My kids already have to take "religions of the world" classes that are worse than useless.

It's time for the ID'ers to quit pussy-footing around and use their considerable resources to push for opening the public schools to what 75% of the American, Church-going public, already believes.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

You are advocating teaching the narrow, literalist view of Chritianity in public schools?

You realize that we have that pesky thing called the Constitution to scrap before we can do that, right?

And where do you get that 75% of Americans believe said literal interpretation?
