The sad thing is what they are doing to their children. The children's warped scientific knowledge will keep them from participating in science after their parents have taken the creation dogma to the grave

Just be aware that some who believe in intelligent design have advanced degrees other have college degrees. I personally majored in chemistry with a minor in biology. (undergrad so I am no authority.) I did learn to question the liberal establishment, such as the media and academia, and public(government) schools; all which promote the THEORY of evolution.

And like all theories, it is subject to review, unlike 98% of creationism out there. The theory has been proven a very good explainer of phenomena and is open to debate and revision. Creationism is a hand-waving that is immune to scientific inquiry. Creationism is not a theory, it is a belief and therefore has no place in public education.

ID is an interesting attempt to juxtapose the two. And, as a theory (whatever its ultimate merits), it has been exposed to critical inquiry. Interestingly, with each new challenge and modification of theory, it becomes closer and closer to the generally accepted theory of evolution. At this point, some hard-liners have abandoned the scientific process, which throws them in with the 'creationist-belief' crowd again, while others struggle gamely on and re-modify the ID theory to fit new facts and discoveries.
