When people pick up the paper every other day, and read headlines about judges banning discussion of ID or other concepts questioning evolution, they wonder what all the fuss is about.

Most people don't pick up the DI's press releases or read creationist websites, and that's the only place you'll hear it claimed 'discssion of ID' is banned. Sane media outlets will report that the judge found that ID is not a scientific theory but a religious one, and therefore doesn't belong in science class. And this doesn't happen 'every other day'.

Granted, you have moronic demogogues like O Reilly ranting on about 'The War against Christmas', etc., but this forms a minor part of most people's lives. Most people find it tiresome.

You guys insist that evolution is the soundest of theories, yet you protect it from questioning as if it's the weakest.

Protect it from questioning? I've been answering questions about it for years here. So you're claiming patience in continually rebutting ignorant attacks from dogmatic theocrats, time after time after time, is a sign of insecurity. If we just gave in to you, it would be a sign the theory is sound? LOL!

I'm just trying to help you out a little!

Admitting science's limitations up front, and being truly neutral regarding religion, would serve you better in the long run, though it would take away the short-term thrill of an ACLU inspired lawsuit getting your rivals thrown out of class.
