Thanks. There's an interesting comparative-religions or comparative-literature course that could be done on this topic, but Prof. Mirecki's comments indicate that he's not interested in an objective survey of the material, absent a political agenda.

Personally, I think it should be taught under the "History of Science" category. This is a matter that is not going away and has and will impact science.
What I really find amusing is the straw-man attack on ID that says it is the work of "fundamentalists." By definition, "Fundamentalists" are ultra-conservative (even sectarian) Protestants. Professor Behe is a Roman Catholic. Somehow, the label "fundamentalist" or "fundi" doesn't quite fit.
Whatever, it is easier for someone to stereotype a perceived enemy than to thoughtfully and rationally confront them. I know this, because I am personally quite often guilty of the same mistake as a professing Christian creationist (not an ID proponent I point out) when I corresspond with those who hold to totally naturalistic views on the origin of life and species. I'm guilty, so I understand how my "adversaries" can also be.
