Has Intelligent Design Lost Its Luster With RW Wackos?
Since that judge in PA handed down his "ID is just creationist BS repackaged by a bunch of liars" opinion last month I haven't noticed ID being trumpted by the usual suspects...except for that a-hole who's the present Gov of Texas.

Whaddaya think?

1. They're just cooking up a new strategy.
We haven't heard the last of these nut cases. Hopefully, the Rapture will come before they re-surface.

I wouldn't be surprised. They're too busy worrying about the "Daniel" tv show.

2. They have their panties in a wad over domestic spying, Abramoff,

the war and the problem of Bush's low ratings so they don't have time to prattle on about "intelligent design." Besides, most people are just sick of hearing about it. Evolution will continue whether or not these nuts believe in it.

3. nope. just put back on the shelf for the time being....
until they come up with a new, more scientific sounding name for it. at which time they will pull it back off the shelf, dust it off, and hurl it back in our faces, full force.

6. Maybe "Creator-directed evolution" will be the new moniker.

Might as well take on the word "evolution" through a frontal assault.

5. Don't Worry
the wackos will be back in force to push the next repackaged creationist shit down our throats as soon as they can think something up.

Has anyone else actually read "Of Panda's and People"? A bigger pile of crap I have never seen, calling it a "science" book is absolutely unbelievable. The fact that ID has made it as far as it has is insane.
