Well, well. So I'm not the only Darwinian conservative in the world after all! Thanks to all for the welcome.
The "crevolist" looks great.
Although I am generally not persuaded by the "intelligent design" arguments, I enjoy debating the ID people. And I actually am open to allowing ID ideas into public school science classes. The best way to do this, I would say, is to "teach the controversy by teaching Darwin." Why not have high school students actually read Darwin and notice that he presents his "theory of natural selection" as the alternative to the "theory of special creation." The 3rd Edition of the Norton Critical Edition of Darwin, edited by Philip Appleman, even includes selections from Phillip Johnson and Michael Behe along with Darwin's texts.
Students reading Darwin would have to weigh Darwin's arguments against the alternative. They might actually be excited by the chance to think for themselves.
That's exactly what the theocratic charlatans at the Discovery Institute want. I think it's a terrible idea. No different, really, from teaching astrology in astronomy class, demon possession in health class, etc. The only place for teaching superseded, debunked, and discarded notions is in something like a "history of science" class. And I don't think high school students are ready for that until they've already had a few solid science classes, and have developed an appreciation for the scientific method.
