"I still believe that the ID movement is more about backdooring a way into the Creation story versus an alternative scientifically based hypothisis. It was a Trojan Horse from all things people of faith."
That is your opinion - and sadly, there are quite a few who truly believe that evolution is the main power play for atheism as an ideology - along with all its political agenda.
It's more than an opinion - it's the admitted purpose of both the Discovery Insitute, the main proponent of ID, and the school board in this case.
Conversely, I challenge you to find any scientific organizations promoting the ToE that have atheism as a stated goal.
It would be too objectionable for scientific organizations to have this as a stated goal. Better to have it as an unstated principle and then have it established by law as the only principle suited to scientific discussion.
In which case, as Exhibit #1 - I offer to you Richard Dawkins.
Bingo! Simply read their Wedge Strategy.
That's not to say that there is not some possibilities behind ID, but the Discovery Institute pretty much has laid out it's agenda through the wedge stategy and this school board was a trial balloon.
Much of that agenda repackaged the Creation story to something that is more palatable to the fence sitters amongst us. Don't believe in our God, well then maybe you'll at least accept some sort of "Creator". It was also a way to muddy the water on other theories rather than scientifically and through the process of falsification the validity of it's theory.
Again, years ago, ID was widely rejected by people of deep faith. Not much has changed in terms of it's foundation, yet now it is being embraced. The sudden turn around is fishy.
