Battle on Teaching Evolution Sharpens

Peter Slevin, writer for the Washington Post reports on the current controversy between materialism and creationism/ID. It seems Mr. Slevin, like many others, wants to put a political spin on the debate. However, the underlying debate is really about science; is ID legitimate science, which we know it is, versus the view by materialists that it is "religion dressed up in a cheap tuxedo."

While Mr. Slevin runs with the politics of the matter, (not surprising because his employer is in Washington) the idea that the controversy surrounding Darwinism should be taught does come through in the article.
