As estranged from science as social liberalism
From the anti-Darwinism of the radical left to the anti-Darwinism of the religious right, I will fiercely recommend a piece in today's Guardian by Richard Dawkins and Jerry Coyne (who?) on the subject of Intelligent Design. Refreshingly free - especially for Dawkins - of the nasty bashing of religious people so common to columns on this issue, it explains precisely why the science classroom is not the place for the theories the creationist movement proposes, and why, scientifically, intelligent design falls so far short.
