There They Go Again...
Check this out as the lead in an Op-Ed from yesterday's NYTimes (no by-line
)Every time the critics of Darwinism lose a battle over reshaping the teaching of biology, they evolve into a new form, armed with arguments that sound progressively more benign, while remaining as dangerous as ever.Dangerous!? Please -- that is quite a charge, and no where to they support it in the piece. This is as close as they come:
Although the chief critics say they do not seek to require the teaching of intelligent design, they add the qualifier "at this point in time." Once their foot is in the door, the way will be open.OH -- so now we buy a slippery slope argument. There is a good reason there is no byline on this thing. I no great proponent of ID, but I would never describe it a "dangerous."
