No, I think it’s the BEST way to resolve the issue. Odds are, the Creationists and IDers, who represent a majority of Americans, will finally get fed up with the Church of Darwin and call for a constitutional amendment that allows ID and Darwinian evolution to be researched and taught side by side. Although, once human-caused global warming blows up in our faces, maybe people will realize that scientists are just as corruptible as anybody else, and perhaps a new movement will develop calling for a complete separation of science and state.
What kind of odds are you giving on the passage of this amendment?
Who do you envision doing the research into ID?
