Even scientists who are atheists should speak out against it, just as believing scientists ought to point out that I.D. belongs in a philosophy of science or metaphysics class.

At the same time, science can't operate in such a vacuum that it is only subject to the scrutiny of scientists. There are aspects of science that abut other fields, and it's not always clear where the borders are. Why should members of one field have sole discretion over the delineation of territory?

I used to. I don't do it any longer. I have lots of battles of my own to fight. I'll resume standing up for the religious rights of my Christian fellow-conservatives when they stop trying to intrude their beliefs into an area I consider of paramount importance.
