"whack-job ID/Creationist line."

Well, there it is in a nutshell.

I've been watching these threads for quite some time now, but I'm not going to any more.

Underneath all the sturm und drang, the froth and rogue waves, the high-flown rhetoric, accusations and counter-charges, insults and ripostes, it comes down to one thing.

Some people want it to be okay to tell schoolchildren, "Belief in God is a valid viewpoint. Many intelligent, educated, reasonable people believe in God. Others, of course, do not, but belief in God does not brand one as a whacko, or indicate a lack of intelligence or education."

Other people, seemingly, would kill their grandmothers to keep that from happening.

Simple as that.

To which "God", out of the thousands worshipped and acknowledged throughout human history do you refer and why. Also, why do you think that this statement has any relevance in a science classroom?

Thanks! I've always believed in succinctness.
