You can say this for intelligent design: It has really inspired the science teachers of America. Today’s session on the teaching of intelligent design – the notion that an intelligent ‘creator’ shaped biological organisms – was jam-packed. In fact, it was so overcrowded that the organizers moved it from a small lecture hall to a section of the giant ballroom.

If science educators such as these get out there and teach kids, one can only think that science will soon triumph over the pseudoscientific arguments of intelligent design.
