Oo, nice.
Of course there's the Hindu approach as well. It seems to me that any
ID-iotic curriculum would have to give equal ground to pretty much
*any* "theory" that was as plausible (!) as the Judeo-Christian
monotheistic outlook.
That's probably the best way to defeat the ID-iots, actually. Demand
TRUE equal time for EVERY "theory" … and watch the furor diminish,
possibly even reverse, as the flood of non-Christian creation myths
saturates the biology classrooms.
And, while we're at it, write off (sigh) the current generation in
terms of biological science entirely.
