One Nation, Under the Designer

While taking a break from my Textual Criticism paper this evening I found this interesting piece on Intellegent Design. It is from the perspective of a non-ID friendly science teacher in Seattle.

It does a good job of spelling out some of the major fears of people regarding the ID movement. Heavy attention is paid to the agenda of the Discovery Institute in particular and social, cultural, and legal implications at the public school level, rather than at the professional academic level.

Note also the confusion of ID with anti-evolutionism. The fact is that most ID theorists take evolution as a given. It is merely the blind, unguided, unteleological nature of evolution in its strictest Darwinian form that they are opposed to.
