If anyone on this list would like to know what real ID
proponents really say, a good place to start is the records 
of the Dover, PA trial.

Also note that there is a NOVA episode that deals with ID,
science, and the Dover trial.

====================================

The so-called Intelligent Design Movement (IDM) is a chimera ... that 
is, a monstrosity fabricated from disparate parts of other creatures. 
Specifically, it has the blind eyes and sharp claws of fundamentalist 
creationism and the voracious jaws of politics. It is then dressed up 
to look like science. The whole package is held together by lies.

I do not lightly accuse people of lying, but when a federal court finds 
that people have repeatedly lied under oath, I feel safe in quoting 
he judge:

    It is ironic that several of these individuals, who so 
    staunchly and proudly touted their religious convictions 
    in public, would time and again lie to cover their tracks 
    and disguise the real purpose behind the ID Policy.
