And speaking of being on the fringe, when it comes to the origins debate, the Evos have zero explanation for the origin of the genetic code, whereas both Creationist and ID scientists point to the fact that the only known empirically verified source of complex, specified digital codes is intelligent design. As such, ID is currently THE BEST explanation for the genetic code, as the Evos have absolutely nothing except failed origin of life experiments to bolster their unscientific evo-religion.
I'm talking about the science, not the politics.
The vast majority of Americans (from both political parties) believe both side of the origins debate should be taught
If true, that means your wedge strategy is working. It was their goal to get people behind the idea even before ID is scientifically accepted. Politics and religion first, science later. While okay in a philosophy, theology or debate course, it is absolutely not applicable in a science course.
ID scientists
That phrase still makes me laugh.
