As always, groups like Communists, the Left, Liberals, ACLU anti-religion types, etc. are ALWAYS in favor of controlling and shutting up any other viewpoint. Because they are usually SCARED TO DEATH AND GREATLY FEAR other points of view. It comes from knowing deep down how naked and at risk their lame, failed ideas are.

Hmmm. Why won't ID proponents limit their faith-based belief to religion and philosophy classes where it belongs? Trying to force ID into the science classroom is like demanding a Spanish class teach Pig Latin as an alternative means of speaking the language.

These groups aren't the only people opposed to ID. Pretending like they are, or at least that by association all others on that side of the argument are just like them, is nothing more than an ad hominem attack on the character of your opponents. You are really just making insinuations about the people on this board that support evolution and telling us that we're against ID just because we're scared.

I think that kind of desperate tactic comes from knowing deep down how naked and at risk your lame, failed ideas are.

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
