Thanks for the explanations on intelligent design here...
The article never explained the concept and just started talking about these completely biased opinions. I hate being spoonfed biased perspectives. I like being taught all sides and then figuring it out myself. I find this is more challenging and you take what you learn in a more substantial way.
It's interesting that he talks about our forefathers... Our forefathers were very much in favor of separation of church and state. The evangelical protestants of the 18th century thought that by bringing God/faith into the government, they were insulting the religion/God. They did not want to force anyone to believe in something they did not want to because they wanted to keep their religion authentic.
A lot has changed since then...
Religion has its place in politics but it should not be written into laws to govern entire people. If it's tought in school, it should be countered with other perspectives to challenge student's minds. They will probably learn much more about "intelligent design" this way.
