A Bad Marriage

No end to debate likely

Dover’s done talking intelligent design, but rest of the world isn’t

It has been a bad marriage, Darwinists and fundamentalists. Darwinists have gotten their just deserts for the deception they have created on evolution, but the permanent challenge from fundamentalists can slowly but surely be met if a new secular/scientific public philosophy can come into existence, one that will offer something more than the implicit Social Darwinism promoted by the current paradigm, even the liberal/left contingent.

Thou shalt not live by Darwin propaganda alone.

Jan 15, 2006 — If people believed a ruling in federal court would end the national debate about intelligent design, they were wrong.
Judge John E. Jones III’s ruling in December was celebrated by supporters, who called it thorough and impressive, while those who believe intelligent design is science denounced Jones as an activist judge, or even incompetent.

The response seems in line with what experts say is a debate that will take place in school districts, departments of education and among science and theology professionals for decades. It is part of the culture wars, which encompass differing views Americans use to define their lives, particularly on issues such as abortion, sexuality and the separation of church and state.
