"Your Honor, you may remember Cyndi Sneath's testimony about her seven year old son Griffin, who is fascinated by science. This board is telling Griffin that scientists are just tricking you. It's telling students like Griffin the same thing Mr. Buckingham told Max Pell. Don't go off to college where you will be " brainwashed." Don't research the theory of evolution. The board is delivering Michael Behe's message. Don't bother studying the development of the immune system - you're just doomed to failure."

This is extremely absurd, given what ID purports to do.

How many people have _not_ gone into science because scientists use it to advertise a secular worldview? ID is the opportunity for people who _do_ dissent with Darwin to get into science. Previously, it was mostly like "you don't like Darwin? You don't belong in science."

As for research into the theory of evolution, what they don't tell you is that the scientists supporting ID _have_ researched evolution, and they think it should be continued to be researched. What the evolutionists are saying is that this is a closed case, and that it is invalid to attempt to open the case back up. Now THAT is anti-science.

Good points!
