There are several academics in my field (speech communication) who have been prominent supporters of ID, and they also happen to be left-wing, po-mo types who view science as it is currently practiced as also being an expression of Western imperialism and male domination, making natural allies of both the IDers and the "Science for the People" crowd. I wrote a paper critiquing some of their arguments for a history of biology class, and I'm thinking of revising it for publication.

Now that's funny. Science as 'an expression of Western imperialism and male domination'...LOL...Are these academics Amish aborigines?

Is that because Noam Chomsky's theories of language include the "sudden appearance" of major features?
