That may be perfectly true, but it's not my point. I don't see how an argument over "intelligent design" at this time is going to keep the Democrats in Congress from exposing us to another 9-11 attack. If anything, by opening conservatives (to include most Republicans) up to ridicule (however undeserved) the ID debate detracts from our ability to make the points that need to be made in the War on Terror: "why should anyone believe you, you think the earth is 6,000 years old?" We don't need to have this debate at this moment in time. GIVE IT A REST, okay?
