BTW much of what we consider "medicine" is in fact "voodoo." In testing drugs the placebos are often found to be just as effective as the actual drugs.

Information on the effectiveness of drugs is readily available. I have yet to have a doctor lie to me when I asked about the pros and cons of a treatment.

Your observation is a variation on the Ralph Nader claim that consumers aren't smart enough to make their own decisions.

If you go to a doctor and don't ask questions, you will be given a treatment that has a statistical chance of being better than alternatives (or nothing). If you fail to ask questions or do research, you get what you get.

I have no idea as to how you drew that conclusion.

You have not answered my point which is that this was not a constitutional issue to begin with. Essentially you seem to be arguing against the truth of the statement that ID is a legitimate alternative to the TOE. Ok, for the sake of argument I will conceed your point that ID is not a viable alternative theory to the TOE.

Now, using your copy of the constitution explain to me how the reading of the statement by the Dover School board to school children can reasonably be considered to be "an establishment of religion".
