Re: ID banned from schools
I think everyone needs to read the Wikipedia entry on the scopes trial. While I hold the wikipedia isn't necessarily the best source for all of ones information, this article seems to be well written.
The key point being that the Butler Act did not require that creation be taught, but that evolution not be taught because of it's teaching that man ascended from primates.
Seems to me that the same is being done only in reverse. ID is being banned not because it is scientifically unfounded, but because it comes to close to the religious teaching of creationism.
Maybe both should be banned from school, as they are both lacking in proof, and if either one is being taught then religion is at issue. I say this with the thought that my freedom to pursue my own religion should mean that I not be force fed something that goes completely against my religious beliefs, such as the stance that man could not have been created but evolved from a single celled organism.
