Mike, thanks for the blog. Fantastic site. I didn't know that
Creationism/ID is the product of a handful of people funded by a
billionaire. Reminds me of the Russian Revolution, a relative handful of
people hijacking a country, doing untold damage. Here literally a handful
of people are pushing science into the Middle Ages. Mind boggling stuff.
It's especially interesting to me because I haven't been following the
politics of ID. I assumed it was a grass roots movement. All my comments
have been intuitive. Now I learn that it's an orchestrated political
movement. Really, thanks for the site. A real eye opener.
Andy
