I hope you are not equating the two.
Well, maybe. But that was the proper and fitting way for the decision to be made.
Well the other problem is that ID isn't really science it is? Intelligent design is just another name for creationism. That is a religious belief not a scientific one. The fact that people have been pushing it as science is just a way to wedge religion into the schools. If that is what you want... well ok... but be warned that your particular beliefs are not the only game in town.
Scientology is gaining ground for example in all sorts of places. They were VERY present at a shelter I worked at in Baton Rouge after Katrina. They were not supposed to be there but had "befriended" the Baton Rouge mayor and gained his support. Their so called scientific beliefs says that an intergalactic leader named Xenu enslaved a bunch of souls here on Earth in humans and it is why we have all these psychosis problems.
If you set a precedent for teaching a non-scientific belief as science, then you open the door for other organizations, such as the Scientologists with their rich supporters, to do the same. It might sound like a stretch, but that is exactly where we would be heading.
You did. They are both subjects.

Wrong. And on the subject of rich man and poor man, they both count as one vote.
