This is a social political religious controversy with nada to do with science.

It has to do with the future of science.

The Kansas school board is in the process of changing their definition of "science" to include ID. A handful of elected religious ideologues cramming their viewpoint down an academic community.

If that doesn't involve the scientific community, then I don't know what does.

Then you don't know what does.

This is classic mountain out of mole hill stuff and is commonplace among ecclesiastical battle, such as this one.

One side, or perhaps both, cloak their religious rhetoric in science, but it has nothing to do with science.

I must respectfully disagree. The scientific community was in no way involved with the changing of the science standards in Kansas. The fact that the science standards are to be changed is proof positive that the science community -- or anyone with even an iota of scientific knowledge -- wasn't involved at all, despite their protests.
