Twenty years ago, you didn't hear about this sort of thing. Now you do -- because, as often happens, a scientific theory, in this case evolution, is coming under challenge, and a different paradigm, in this case ID, is arising in its place. Of course, not all the scientists who doubt evolution accept ID. But many of them do, and they do so on the basis of scientific research.

Well, "to put aside hints and speak plainly," as Galileo said, this is a lie, and a damned lie at that. ID is a religiously motivated political movement, and not a scientific theory.

I say this in full sympathy for the motivations behind it, namely the desire for free expression and the free exercise of religion, in the form promulgation of belief, in this particular case. But still, "facts are just facts and you can't have opinions about facts," as Peter Schickele said.

"ID is a religiously motivated political movement, and not a scientific theory."

So what about it? The very founding of the United States of America was also a "religiously motivated, political movement", that declared to the King of England that we have GOD GIVEN, INALIENABLE RIGHTS that supercede the Crown's rule of religious oppression and government tyranny.

If not for that deep religious ideology that permeated the souls of America's first Pilgrims and most of the authors of the Declaration of Independence, the Darwinists, (who themselves are a political, anti-religious movement), would assuredly have something far worse to suffer than some Christian parents who don't want their children being taught the direct opposite of what their religion teaches them.

Darwinism, the flimsiest of all modern 'sciences', is nothing other than a subversive cult engaged in the fine art of destroying the Christian faith. People are finally beginning to realize this, and Charles Darwin's 'evolution' will soon be rotting in the grave along with its Christian-bashing, Bible-hating founder.
