That's what I think. Why do they get themselves so worked up about ID if evolution has been proved over and over and over...
"Why do they get themselves so worked up about ID if evolution has been proved over and over and over..."
Well, I have a theory about that: it is called G.U.T.S. The Grand Unified Theory of Sex.
Here's the abstract: Sex is merely a method by which humans engage in activity which is just about the only way in which you can tell if someone is REALLY telling the truth.
Thus, if you don't have God, and thus have NOT experienced the associated spiritual truths (which appropriately puts the sex experience itself into proper perspective), then by definition, the Sex experience is the exclusive TRUTH experience available.
So, if we bible thumpers get our way, we'll make laws outlawing access to the 'exclusive TRUTH experience', and thus denying that pseudo-spiritual access to the truth experience to the rationally minded (for them since its the only experience in town, it is not 'pseudo' of course).
In short, sex is survival (not in the reproductive sense btw) to the godless, and we are threatening a kind of 'death' (pure IDers see this implication, but drop all discussions of God/Jesus etc). In short, evolution implicitly serves as the core underpinnings to legal protections of the sex nonsense flooding our nation today as well as hidden eugenics practice known as 'abortion'.
Oh, one other thing - there is a great deal of money involved and at stake regarding the outcome of this fight. The pornographers are well aware of it. And so are the scientists who are hostage to the 'publish or perish' scientific grant machine known as 'research'.
But this is just my opinion...
