The ID debate follows the model of past scientific revolutions | Gene Edward Veith

Intelligent Design took a hit when a federal court in Dover, Pa., banned it from being taught in the state's public schools. Now Darwinian activists are targeting the Ohio school system for including a biology lesson that simply poses questions about evolution.

Pundits are ridiculing those who doubt evolution as being "anti-science." They are using the controversy over Intelligent Design to warn about "fundamentalists" who want to reverse modern science and take us back to the Dark Ages. Even some conservative pundits, such as George Will, are piling on, eager to distance themselves from those embarrassing conservative Christians who somehow got into the Republican Party's big tent.
