I'm still trying to determine what the Creationist/ID crowd really want.

They want what every swami since time began has always wanted. They want to convince you that you have no capacity to observe and understand reality. Thus paralyzed, you will have no alternative but to turn to the swami for his profound wisdom, and his gentle guidance.

Because we're no longer living in caves, stunned into terror at the sight of lightning, it's a bit more difficult for the swamis to accomplish their goal. Discovery Institute is working on it, however. Their campaign against evolution -- and against the scientific method itself -- literally amounts to a full-blown war against reason. Those who don't understand this are already in swami-land.

Personally, I have no interest in seeing a new Dark Age in the 21st century.

It's good to see I'm not alone.

That's what I think. I'd just like them to try to tell me, logically, how they can justify teaching what they advocate alongside TOE in a science class. I don't think they can.
