Reply #31: Well all that debating is a smokescreen for what's really going on

[BurtWorm]

in the "war." It really is. It's a luxury to debate about the origins of life and the universe, and it's a lot of fun. But while we're all doing that, the creationists and ID types are actually about something else entirely. They're stealing seats on local school boards, while no one but fundamentalists are watching, with the aim of making an assault against secular public education. That's who the creationists were when the term was first born 20 or so years ago, and that's what they're still about.
