Which reminds me:

Oh, come on. Tell me you've never wondered. I stole that from Ilyka, BTW, who stole it from Zendo Deb.

And Ilyka has some further thoughts on the issue of "Intelligent Design" as Science. She doesn't appear to quite be sold on it.

(No. I have not entered the ID fray, and will not. I'm not convinced we need to tell schoolchildren how human life began at all. As long as they are quite clear that human beings did not share the earth with dinosaurs. And that evolution does occur. Teach evolution early on, and then throw a copy of Darwin's Black Box at 'em later on to see if they can write a decent paper on it.)

1 As some have pointed out, the debate about ID in schools exposes a serious weakness in the idea of public schooling. If everyone has to be taught the same thing, then everyone who cares will be fighting to make sure that their beliefs are getting taught. I haven't heard about private schools having this issue to deal with.

3 School choice with vouchers. Bingo! Problem solved. Then let "evolution" sort out who gets the better education. If I had kids, they'd be homeschooled. No question about where to send them and what nonsense is being shoved down their throats. They would learn both, because as Vox says, "I don't know, and neither do you."

4 That's it in a nutshell. Me, I lean toward creation through evolution.
