That's where the "debate" is raging. School boards, churches, and sites like FR. Not in the halls of science, where creation/ID has nothing to offer.

Yep. The whole point of every form of "scientifically" slanted creationism, including ID as promoted by most of its proponents, is to avoid the process of professional scientific review that any other theory included in the curricula is expected to undergo and withstand.

The nutso enviro-whacks do the same thing, and are an even bigger problem than the creationists as more of their ilk are found among those who actually write curricula. But you can't fight any of these charlatans effectively if you don't fight all of them with a hardnosed and uncompromising commitment to academic standards and integrity.

And what useful content has ID ever generated or even threatened to generate? "That can't have evolved!" equals "Goddidit!" equals "So, punt!"
