Howdy, Electric Strawberry, I wore the patch in Vietnam 1967-68
However, my purpose in responding to your comment is to agree with it.
Evolution is based on science--testable and retestable propositions.
ID and Creationism, etc, etc, are based on faith, which cannot be tested or proved, no matter how much their backers raise objections.
The point is that SCIENCE and FAITH are like two ships passing in the night--they may see each other, but they can never come alongside each other or come into congruence.
I have been recently drummed out of my Sunday School class for expresssing such sentiments.
Oh well, such is life amid extreme religionists.

Few FR guys I know that were with the 25th in Viet 'Nam...think they were with Cav units that don't exist with the 25th any more. 11B all the way.

My intention here is not to say that the discussion of ID doesn't belong in the SCHOOL, just that it belongs in a non-science class like philosophy or theology (if they even teach that any more). Science classes are for teaching science and scientific thinking, not for debating baseless and unprovable hypotheses.
