Sticker Shock

Sticker Shock
In the beginning was the cautionary advisory By Steve Mirsky
Brushfires are raging all across America over the teaching of evolution, as various antievolution interests attempt to give religiously based views equal footing in science classes. These fires are fueled by so-called creation scientists, who allege that they have scientific evidence against evolution. (They don't.) Their co-conspirators, the "intelligent design" crowd, go with the full-blown intellectual surrender strategy--they say that life on earth is so complex that the only way to explain it is through the intercession of an intelligent superbeing. (They don't mention you-know-who by name as the designer, but you know who you-know-who is, and it isn't Brahma.) http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&articleID=00022DE1-0C15-11E6-B75283414B7F0000
