Where in our Constitution does it tell us to bend our knees to Christianity . . .

It doesn't. And anyone who attempts to establish Christianity as the only religion to be taught in public schools by law should be opposed. The public schools are for everyone, including atheists. Intelligent design is not a distinctly "Christian" idea. It just happens to agreee with Christian teaching.

All the ID proponents I've heard about where Christian. No athiests to be found. Combined with the claims of the Dover school board that specically promoted ID for Christian witnessing, and the supporters of DI who are Christian activists. And, the Wedge document itself.

Anyone who claims ID is not a Judeo/Christian movement is fooling themselves.

No Fester, ID does not "just happen" to agree with Christian teaching. The Catholic church accepts evolution, many other protestant sects do as well. Not every Christian believes in Genesis as actual fact and truth claim. That is one reason why ID promotes a particular religious view.

It just happens to agree with the teachings of some fundamentalist protestants, like the ones who gave us "creation science" and "creationism, and now the sequel -->ID. Same people, same idea.

It is laughable that the school board wanted to teach Aristotle, the book they pointed the students to read was "Of Pandas and People", no other text was suggested.
That text is promoted by the creationists and in no way is scientific.

Aristotle was wrong about his prime mover, he also thought that the brain was a device for cooling the blood, and that there were only four elements (fire, water, earth and air) He is relevant today not because of his physics or metaphysics but because of his method of reasoning.

Aristotle was the type of man who would have been thrilled to learn about evolution, DNA and modern science in general.
