MORE INTELLIGENT DESIGN

The Discovery Institute and its cohorts have hit the big time, a series on its efforts published in the New York Times. Its success in using politicized scientists and religious groups to spread its message and even to obtain curriculum presence in some public schools warrants news coverage, I suppose. This is especially true when intelligent design may possibly be taught in scientific courses as an alternative to evolution. That's science classes,not religious studies.

I'll go with the opinion of a British scientist, expressed on NPR. He viewed engaging in a scientific debate with advocates of intelligent design as akin to a human reproduction scientist debating the stork theory of reproduction.
