The thing that really annoys me the most about this whole thing is the insuation by proponents of ID that "evolutionists" claim that that evolution is a perfect, finished theory that completely explains everything that ever was, slaying God and Baby Jesus and Allah, Moses, and Siva too, on the way. That's just crap. Some of the points of ID are valid - the best lies contain hints of the truth. Evolution isn't a complete theory. There is definately "something else going on" than what we currently know.
THERE ALWAYS IS. Scientists are just a ready to admit this as "theologists" are to point it out. That's part of being a scientist. Knowing the limitations of your knowledge. But to misconstrue some valid criticisms of current evolutionary theory (which biologists and other scientists themselves will readily admit, bring up, and frequently originate) to imply that a personified deity must be involved, and that this should somehow be taught in public schools is just inane. Seriously...I have got to see these lesson plans. I can not imagine being in front of that classroom. It would be bad enough having to pretend that I thought the Bronte sisters didn't suck ass, or something of that nature. I can't imagine being that teacher.
I'm done. This whole thing pisses me off enough I start to hear voices from my avatar.
