The Wrath of the Intelligent Designer - any challenges?

[rcfchess at aol.com]

I think it has less to do with the "correctness" of any given idea than the separation of church and state. Please don't tell me that creationism is an idea separate from religion; that would make it hypocritical as well as stupid.

Of course billions and billions and billions of our tax dollars are 
currently going to fund illegal Israeli settlements in occupied lands, 
brutal repressive regimes in Egypt, for example, not to mention the 
wholesale genocide being carried out in Iraq. A little free discussion 
in grammar school seems rather pallid by example. If Darwinism is 
so correct you should have nothing to fear in a free and open 
comparison with other ideas.
