"Intelligent Design" Wants God Across All the Curriculum
Terry, Mark
Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, v70 n6 p24-32 Feb 2005
Science and religion are two contradicting aspects when it comes to tracing evolution and creationism. Considering that these are two important things, revising statewide science or eliminating evolution and changing it to Intelligent Design (ID) may be the best thing to be done to create a curriculum that has a better science teaching. In this article, the author points out that ID is not about Biblical literalism. In public battles, ID proponents try to shift the entire discussion away from religion, claiming that science has discovered evidence of the work of a "designer" and that they have mathematical formulae and scientific-sounding "concepts" to back this up. Not only is ID not about Biblical literalism, but almost all talk of God has been removed from it. Among other things, he presents a few possibilities on what an educator or concerned citizen can do regarding the Intelligent Design.
