A pretty scathing Op-Ed from Paul Gross and Barbara Forrest about the Dover, Penn. school district's recent decision to teach ID creationism in science classes there.
quote:But attempts to use intelligent design as a scientific explanation have been dead as a doornail for almost 150 years. The arguments of its proponents are virtually indistinguishable from those for intelligent design by William Paley in 1802. They were wrong then (as Darwin and many others have since shown), and they are not only wrong today but irrelevant to science and good science education.
