<< the real issue in this phony evolution/ID imbroglio is the large 
percentage of scientists who say they believe in god, and who endorse a 
sort of division-of-labor credo between science and belief. that's the 
crux of the problem, if you ask me. they allow this other crap to 
thrive. the greatest ethical catastrophe on this planet right now is 
the belief in god by people who know better. >>

This is entirely correct.  The intelligent design argument--if one can 
call it an argument--is not an argument of biology.  It's a supposedly 
logical argument from outside biology that is continually having it's 
logical conclusions proved wrong for evevery conceivable reason--poor 
logic, false premises, incorrect facts, etc.

These are people perhaps one step removed from those who believe the 
fossil record was something put on earth by god to test one's faith.
