The brainwashing has been going on for 75 years or so :-).
I don't understand why it should be so complicated. There are 4 or 5 books that an intelligent high-school student could read, and come to the conclusion that, "There is more than one reasonable interpretation of the observable scientific facts."
Once one accepts that the interpretation is driven by philosophy, not science, there not much ground for argument.
Darned right. That's why we need to make sure students are aware of the healing crystal pyramid theory in physics, and the hollow earth theory in astronomy. Both of which have had thicker books with more diagrams published than is the case for ID.
