this felicitous view is not necessarily one which is a given. Trends come and go, sometimes reverse course. Just when you think you're on a slippery slope, something comes along to disrupt it. I prefer to think that humanity is reaching out for enlightenment, at least in the long run.

I do believe in God, and that God is the Creator, and that the universe was created. But whether you do or don't is completely irrelevant to whether Intelligent Design, as it is posited, is a scientific concept. Science can only describe the natural world. That doesn't mean that the supernatural world doesn't exist. It means that it can't be measured in a laboratory. Therefore, it has no place in a science class. We don't know God except through faith, and faith and reason are two difference faculties. You don't have faith. I do. But we both have reason. Where science goes astray is when atheists and agnostics try to teach their lack of faith as if it were reason. We can discuss such matters in a parlor, or a religion class, or a philosophy class. It is just as wrong to try to undermine faith in a science class as it is to promote it. In science class, what should be taught is science, that which can be measured in a laboratory.
