And I agree with you completely that creationism should not be taught in schools but I will never be comfortable with the government being the final arbiter of scientific fact. It’s been wrong too many times.

Sigh. Don’t be a dolt. The government isn’t deciding what is science, scientists are. Say that tomorrow, ID and evolution flip flopped. All the evidence and scientific consensus for evolution was now in the ID camp and evolution had nothing. Do you really think the government would shut its eyes and cover its ears and refuse to teach science as the entire scientific community and mountains of data see it?

Or more to the point, why are you bringing up straw men?
