First, no one, at least seriously, to my knowledge, has ever objected to intelligent design outside science curriculums. Contemporary issues, perhaps religion, but not science. That's where the social conservatives want to put it.

Before today, I haven't paid any attention to the issue. After reading that it originated from within the scientific community itself and scanning some of their arguments relative to DNA microbiology, I now don't see how it could be presented other than within a scientific curriculum.

Religious conservatives may have co-opted the issue for their own agenda, but the scientific push for it has nothing to do with religious dogma.

But, and finally, as I recall, these were read as more than attacks on evolution but on science as a way of knowing

This is one more, imo, of those false memes the anti-religious spawn.
