>>If the man-from-monkey crowd are secure in the correctness of their theories, believing that in honest debate their view will prevail, then why are they attempting to "burn the books" of those with an alternative view?<<
You don't see a difference between not wanting to be ordered to teach something they don't believe has a scientific basis versus book burning.

Yes, I do see a frame of mind akin to book burning. There are scientist who do not hold to the blank check evolution THEORIES as unchallengeable fact. They do attempt to destroy those who vary from their narrow path.
My point is two fold:
1. Evolution is still theory, not fully established as a having proven science that can be defended without any qualification whatsoever...yet the education establishment labels it as SCIENCE theat is not to be questioned. This lock-step orthodoxy is not healthy.
2. The education establishment attempt to snuff out ANY disagreement, not just ID.
