When Hannah Maxson started an intelligent design club at Cornell University last fall, a handful of science majors showed up for the first meeting. Today, the high-profile club boasts more than 80 members.
Until recently, the nationwide debate over whether intelligent design should be taught alongside evolution was centered primarily in public elementary and high-school science classes. In Dover, Pa., for example, parents won a legal fight against a school board decision to teach intelligent design in biology classes. A new school board formally ditched the intelligent design curriculum Tuesday (Jan. 3).
Now the discussion is spilling over onto university campuses. At nearly 30 public and private universities across the country, students have started clubs aimed at promoting intelligent design. The clubs, sponsored by the Intelligent Design and Evolution Awareness Center (IDEA), a small, nonprofit organization based in San Diego, have been gaining members and visibility.

I hope they have the sense to meet at night with the doors locked and the curtains drawn.
Intelligent Design Gains Momentum...
It's not the fall that kills you, it's that sudden stop...
damn your quick on the draw
Yay another intelligent design thread! Time for the Pat Robertson-bots to come out en masse and defend it as their contract states.
Nothing new here. Our nations schools have been going to crap for quite some time.
Philosophy Clubs can be great.
Oh no! Not in colleges, too! And especially Cornell! This has to be stopped!
Check this out. On Cornell's campus, no less!
HA! Look at my post.
ha ha, nice.
They may be too busy to get to it today, what with being deployed to defend his indefensible assertion that Ariel Sharon's latest health downturn is punishment from God for trying to divide God's land.
From the rest of the story:
"For Hutchison, the campus IDEA club could be a land mine. Recently a faculty member tried to "sneak in a course on intelligent design" by e-mailing IDEA club members to generate support, Hutchison said. After opposition from other faculty, the teacher backed down, he said."
Hmm...a class on I.D.
Prof: Good morning, and welcome to the first Intelligent Design 101 session.
[shuffles papers]
Prof: God Did It!
[puts papers in briefcase]
Prof: Thank you for attending. All students will receive an "A" for this class. Class dismissed.
You do know that this is a conservative site, right?
No, not Cornell. We're doooommmmed. How can we compete with the Chinese!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
"You do know that this is a conservative site, right?"
Why, so it is? You do know that many conservatives are firm believers in the theory of Evolution, right?
Perhaps you've confused the word "conservative" with the words "Fundamentalist Christian Young Earth Creationist." The two words are not synonymous.
