JM: The funny thing is that for all the claims that ID is not religious, it's the only group that is arguing for a political mandate to change science. I don't know if that strikes any other scientist as 'very queer', but it does me. You don't see the superstring theorists arguing to have their views share equal time in the high school classroom with Einstein and Newton. You don't see the non-plumists (a plume is a hot mantle upwelling) arguing to have plumes removed from the classroom. YOu don't see mathematics groups seeking to remove "Fermat's Last Theorem" from the textbooks because it hasn't been proven! It's only because ID touches on our humanity that people argue about it. The ID'ists see no value to humanity unless it was intelligently designed and make no mistake about it, the intelligent designer is none other than God (there are a few token non-religious folk in the movement). This movement tries very hard to masquerade as legitimate science, but there is no scientific research aimed at biological ID (not a single paper---even by Behe! and please save the lame conspiracy excuses for someone who doesn't understand peer review).
