Bush DID carefully NOT use the "alongside" word.

I cannot stand what the ID people are trying to do politically... it  
si, of course, about power.

However, I would have NO problem with current ID beliefs being taught  
in a comparative religion class OR a current culture class addressing  
social construction of "realities."
The problem is in setting it over-against evolution as a SCIENTIFIC  
theory.

The 6000 year old Earth "theory" (i.e. opinion/belief) is also alive  
and far too well...but at least they SAY their "evidence" is the Bible.
