In the battle over how to teach evolution in public schools, Thomas Jefferson's demand for a "separation between church and state" has been cited countless times. Many argue that the controversial alternative to Darwinian evolution, intelligent design, is an exclusively religious idea and therefore cannot be discussed under the Constitution. By invoking Jefferson's principle of separation, many critics of intelligent design assume that this visionary Founding Father would agree with them. But would he?

In the LA Times, Charlotte Allen gives her take on the New Atheists.

"My problem with atheists is their tiresome - and way old - insistence that they are being oppressed and their fixation with the fine points of Christianity. What - did their Sunday school teachers flog their behinds with a Bible when they were kids?"

"Read Dawkins, or Hitchens, or the works of fellow atheists Sam Harris ("The End of Faith") and Daniel Dennett ("Breaking the Spell"), or visit an atheist website or blog (there are zillions of them, bearing such titles as "God Is for Suckers," "God Is Imaginary" and "God Is Pretend"), and your eyes will glaze over as you peruse - again and again - the obsessively tiny range of topics around which atheists circle like water in a drain."

Darwinists believe that all they need to do to dispatch with ID is to assert it is not science. They may think, "There...now that was easy." I suppose the historic sciences (forensic, SETI, etc.) are not science either. You can't have it both ways, yet they get away with it all the time.

In ENV...a science test given last month to thousands of teenagers in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. One question asked students to compare Darwinian evolutionary theories with Lamarckian evolutionary theory, the theory of intelligent design and Biblical creationism.

"Unlike creationism, intelligent design is an inference from scientific evidence, not a deduction from religious authority," countered Meyer. "Intelligent design proposes that certain features of the universe and life are best explained by an intelligent cause rather than an undirected process such as natural selection."

As reported by Beb Leach in the London Telegraph, Prof. Richard Dawkins, the prominent atheist, has helped set up an atheist summer camp where children will be taught rational scepticism and sing John Lennon's Imagine...

The author of "The God Delusion", who stepped down from his post at Oxford University last year, has subsidised the five-day camp in Somerset.

Camp-goers will be given lessons in rational scepticism, as well as sessions in moral philosophy and evolutionary biology.

Now, let me get this straight...according to the atheist, when Christians "propagandize" children regarding God, it's a form of child "abuse", but when Richard Dawkins propagandizes children regarding atheism, it is just wonderful "truth-telling".

As reported by ENV...the American public overwhelmingly rejects Darwinian theory in favor of intelligent design. When asked if life developed "through an unguided process of random mutations and natural selection," a standard definition of Darwinism, only 33 percent of respondents said they agreed with the statement. But 52 percent agreed that "the development of life was guided by intelligent design."
