ID is Agnostic Creativeism... at least as ligitimate as Evolution.. which is scientific materialism.. if one is taught so should the other be.. Not teaching both as fact would best.. But ID does steal the limelight from Evolution.. thats what they hate.. Progressive ideologies don't like to share.. they do not play well with others.. its their way or the highway.. Not all Evos feel this way, only the progressive ones.. Matter of fact you can tell the "progressive" ones by this trait.. Especially here at Free Republic.. Not all Evos are "conservatives".. Most are progressives.. You know ex-democrats, or stealth democrats.. some are Loosertarian..

Well... except for the mountain of evidence that supports the Theory of Evolution.
Contrast that with the marked (and admitted) lack of any evidence whatsoever to support ID.
Materialists do not seem to relate well though to metaphorical language.
