Only a sincere desire to take back education from the Taliban creationists, so that kids can grow up able to think rationally. Horrible thought, huh? However, if it were up to me, I'd take the gov't out of the education business altogether, and let the free market run the schools. Better, cheaper, and free from coersion too.

Is there an agenda when people are so ignorant of the idea of evolution that they ask, "If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" Is there an agenda when people adopt so luddite a stance to science that they root for the gaps in our knowledge to expand, that they interpret every ambiguity or plus-or-minus error bar in measurement as absolute ignorance? I suppose the ultimate victory for such people would be to wake up in a world in which all scientific knowledge to date had been lost.

That is the science of ID. It offers nothing but the message that we know nothing and can never know anything so we might as well assume everything is supernatural. Sounds like an agenda to me.

I already know that the premise behind the agenda is wrong. And I'm not impressed with willful ignorance and lawyerly deceit as attempted persuasion.
