MrsMark has made up her mind that this is all a "cultural war," I think because of a profound lack of understanding of science in general, a misconception of evolutionary science in particular and a propensity to confabulate a theory to fit her(?) viewpoint. To this viewpoint, the science of evolution is reduced to being no more valid than any other possible viewpoint.

The issue is not evolution, ID is a political response to those who push evolution, in my opinion. I was stating why there was a political response. It is part of the culture wars.

Well, your mind is made up. But you do not accurately represent the point of view of scientists regarding this matter. The reason for that is, I suspect, that you do not have a good grasp of the nature of science. But..I've said this before here and you keep repeating the same error in your presumption about science and scientists, so I must conclude you aren't open to learning more about science. Correct me if I error in that regard.
