To: Impeach the Boy
As with liberalism in general, opponents of intelligent design wish to muzzle alternative presentation

On the contrary, the CRIDers have been trying, for more than a hundred years, to suppress the ToE. Having failed in that attempt, they are now trying to "drown out" the theory with the white noise of ID, much like a kid who yells "NA-NA-NA" at the top of their lungs when someone else (usually an adult) is trying to speak sense to them.

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?

Wha a cute little strawman you made! We should put that up on the fridge! Again, though, your strawman bears a striking resemblance to ID. Book burning? Lord knows there are plenty of them around, since evo-bashing is so profitable. But that's never been the way of science. All you have to do is get yourself some evidence and you'll have a chair at the big boys table. Or you can continue learning from the libs and use the "affirmative action" approach. You know, where qualifications are rendered irrelevant in light of diversity?

"All you have to do is get yourself some evidence and you'll have a chair at the big boys table."

It is this arrogance, as displayed in your response that is at the core of my point. IT IS THEORY....and those who express ANY reservation, even SCIENTIST who vary from the narrow lock step orthodoxy are attacked and branded as "unscientific", rubes, relgious zealots..etc

I do not hold to the view that ID should be taught in schools...I hold to the view that THEORY should be labeled as such and not presented as unquestionable fact.

Now, juding by the ever declining vote totals for LIBERTAINS, I would think, (thank Intelligent Design), that this little arrogant species will soon be extinct.
