But if this article is an example of how the MSM is going to fight against I.D., then it is NO WONDER I.D. has been making the inroads it has.
For the same very good reasons they don't teach alchemy and astrology, they are not sciences. Why is this so hard for some people to understand? If you want to teach Divine Creation myths, do it in the history department

....both are based on sentimental "feel good" ideas that cannot be objectively analyzed, and both - by not deflecting the need for rational and objective tests - manage to appear acceptable to a dumb-downed public, which favors emotional knee-jerk policies to those based on reason (read conservative).
....when supporters of ID/Creationism label those who accept evolution as communists, they are immitating those on the Left who label conservatives as racist and bigoted, because they fear rational debate. It seems more and more that the Creationist/ID crowd and the Cindy Sheehan leftists are part of the same club - and they have no respect for our intelligence and they both seem to fear free thinking and debate.
....the Creationists on the right, like their counterparts in the left's environmental movement are trying to pass sentimentally-charged beliefs as true science. And neither of these camps are fooling the truly educated among us.
BTW, my cellular phone is based soundly on quantum theory, the same model that reveals an Earth, solar system and universe billions of years old...anyone who thinks ID is the "death of science" doesn't understand science, that viewpoint was probably stated by an ID/Creationism supporter.
....this debate just gets more and more hysterical....
