One would presume that believers in evolution, at least in the U.S., also believe in free speech and wouldn't want to silence those who disagree with them.

Although, after reading some evols on these threads, I do wonder.

There's a difference though when you try to make creationism/ID part of school cirricula as part of your agenda. Certainly, they are entitled to their own opinion. But science isn't a democratic process - what is or what isn't accurate is decided by research, not by vote. And the research points towards evolution.

ID-ists, astrologers, pyramid-and crystal power-sts, homeopaths, Lawsonomists, and so on and so on have the same right to free speech and association, the right to publish, etc, as anyone else. But none of them has a "right" to taxpayer money to try to present their crap in classrooms as though it were science.
