I'm amazed that his whole controversy has even come up. I wonder at the power of US lobbyism. It will be interesting to see how long ot takes, if it ever happens, before the discussion crosses the pond. Personally, i'm fine with my children being presented with the possibility that evolution is not the only possibility. However, I would like some more....not necessarily evidence, but data at least, if they are going to teach creationism or Intelligent Design. Actually, no, Creationism carries a religious connotation that has to stay in Bible Study or religion classrooms. Intelligent Design I can accept, if for no other reason than that one should remain critical and seek to learn about all the options befor making a choice.
Enough rambling for now.
