I'm slightly bemused myself. The overwhelming evidence for evolution became entrenched science with no serious alternative during a time when just about all schools in America taught creationism. Now a vague, pointless disclaimer at 1 out of some 14,000 high schools constitutes a "revolution"? heh

More irony, considering all the overheated paranoia up thread about the "anti-Christian" motivation of opposition to ID, even though ID is supposedly non-religious. (Confusing, ain't it?):

In this country the first widely used secondary school texts teaching evolution were written by an evangelical (congregationalist) Christian, Harvard botanist Asa Gray. The primary opponent of evolution, Harvard zoologist Louis Agassiz, was a liberal Christian who associated with unitarian and transcendentalist types.

Confusing? Not when taking in the light that those IDers are really Creationists parroting the words of Henry Morris.

"Evolution is the root of atheism, of communism,nazism,behaviorism, racism, economic imperialism, militarism, libertinism, anarchism,and all manner of anti-Christian systems of belief and practice." Morris 1972

Sorry about having use the word "nazism" in a thread but its Morris's quote, not mine.
