"They reject geology, physics, astronomy. They reject the methods and assumptions of science as a whole."

You have anything to back up that statement. Are "they" trying to eliminate geology, physics, and astronomy from schools? I haven't heard of it.

That's what a literal take on Genesis leads to.

I have these threads to back it up. I have been asking ID advocates on these threads for a couple of months to say what they would teach if they were in charge. None have responded. I don't know why, but I suspect they don't want to admit in front of their creationist buddies that ID accepts the fact of evolution as a given. That includes common descent and the 4.5 billion year age of the earth. that's what Behe is agreeing with under oath. He has said under oath now, that the "Pandas" book is factually wrong.

When you read through these threads and look at what people say when pinned down, they are denying the fundamental facts of the world that are accepted by mainstream science. they are willing to argue that the speed of light and the rate of radioactive decay change in ways necessary to make Genesis literally correct. There is no branch of science which will not eventually come under attack.

But more importantly it is the fundamental methods of science that are under attack. Behe has admitted this under oath. He is proud of it.
