Wow, A Crevo thread that doesn't have 1000s of replys.

But to the question "How to Deal with Intelligent Design Creationism"

The best way is to suck them into Newsgroups and hit them with hard facts, Not that they will ever believe them but instead they will run out a spend hours upon hours quote mining and searching creationoid websites and posting nonsense. This is effective because the more time creationoids are spending doing the above, the less time they are out there in the real world scaring rational people away from the Republican party.

Sure they might get an occasional isolated foothold in places sometimes, But even if they win they lose because 1)They are always overturned (even by the most conservative of judges) and 2)They turn more people off to religion

This is why education must be privatized. We waster alot of time and energy having these debates, only because the activist judges and NEA, and PTAs stand in the way of privatization, using public money.

On second thought, the persecution of Christianity in our public institutions is the real issue here. If the courts could respect religious expression in public schools to a reasonable degree, I think alot of tension between the two sides would be difused.
