It is amazing to me that the TOE is such a fragile theory that its propoenents would make a federal case over the reading of that sentence one time during a school year.

Anyone afraid of one very short statement read once in a year's time, must have some serious anxiety about the strength of their position.

Beyond that, I simply can't believe that this is an "establishment" issue. I keep looking in the phone book for the "One-Statement-a-Year Christian Church" and I just can't seem to find it.

This argument is a dangerous one to get into, considering that the ID people still don't have a legitimate peer reviewed paper to their name, and that all of their gains have to be made through political and religious statements. That speaks more to the means that ID proponents have sunk to --it's not enough that they can speak to churches and get their ideas promoted in sunday school, but they have to try to get it in science class, as well. Seems that they are making more noise than the evos have, and to lots of loud noise and pretty lights, but no real effect.

How about this? "One-Statement-Every-Four-Years-Christian-Church".

Evolution is taught in Biology, which is typically taught in one year of high school.
