It seems that not everyone understands that ID does NOT equal creationism.

Creationism is the attempt of some to disregard all scientific evidence gathered by geologists and biologists in the effort to believe that the world is roughly 6000 years old.

Intelligent Design, as I understand it, insists on accepting all scientific evidence--even that evidence that contradicts the old Darwinism--but begs to answer the "why" while exploring the "how". Is it scientific? No, but unlike Creationism, it is not anti-scientific.

I believe in ID, but never do I think that it is appropriate for publicly funded indoctrination of children.
