The words "right wing fundamentalist" are anything but scientific. The objections and protests to intelligent design in a scientific context are not scientific, but reflect a particular faith that, for personal reasons, rejects the simple statements of biblical texts. Such objections ought to be allowed and considered, but they should enjoy no more standing by law than any other philosophy that touches upon ultimate purpose or non-purpose, design or non-design, intelligence or non-intelligence, that may or may not comprise objective reality.

Great! You go play with this in the philosophy classes and leave scientists alone. Then we'll all be happy.
