Follow the money.

The Discovery Institute (promoters of ID) has an annual income of about $4.5 million. Pat Robertson brings in about $300,000,000 a year, Jerry Falwell brings in $200 million a year.

The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) limps along on a mere $700,000.

It is a a very unequal contest, except that NCSE has evidence and reason on their side.

Any organization that can only generate $700,000 in contributions can hardly speak for a large constituancy.

Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell are also concerned with many other topics other than the ones on this thread. So not all of their money is exclusively dedicated to the overthrow of evolutionary biology in the public schools. See also "Operation Blessing" or "Moral Majority"...

Full Disclosure: Has anyone bothered to look up the budgets of the Robertson or Falwell gang to find out how much *is* for lobbying on evolution?

Cheers!
