Rock on, U. of K. Especially that it's in the (sane and rational, judging by the comments of the chair) religion department, where it belongs.

heh. To say that intelligent design is religion is wildly incorrect, of course.

Because all they're really saying is that some supperior being with vast and amazing powers created everything in the universe without the benefit of facts that back up their claim . . . and what does THAT have to do with religion?

I also loved Asimov's anecdote; "If English was good enough for Jesus Christ then it's good enough for me!"

-- Steve cannot abide ignorance going about dressed as virtue. Pfeh.
