So, do the ID proponents want to run the one about ID being "based in science" by me again? That offering a choice in evolution theories---that teaching ID in science classes alongside Darwin's Theory of Evolution---is actually not backdooring creationism into a biology class. Because, I have to tell you, that when the people on your side of the argument say stuff like this, I'm not apt to believe you.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson warned residents of a rural Pennsylvania town Thursday that disaster may strike there because they "voted God out of your city" by ousting school board members who favored teaching intelligent design.

All eight Dover, Pa., school board members up for re-election were defeated Tuesday after trying to introduce "intelligent design" — the belief that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power — as an alternative to the theory of evolution.

"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just rejected him from your city," Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club."{...}

Yeah, I know. It's Pat Robertson. But still...

On a somewhat related aside: is this Robertson's fourth smiting this year? Or is it his fifth? I've lost track.

2 Yeah. Robertson is a kook. So is the entire Air America crew. Anyone who goes to the extremes on either side does not generate warm, fuzzy feelings in me, so forgive me if I criticize equally.

3 While I am what most would call conservative, Pat Robertson is at the top of the "GET OFF MY SIDE!" list. One of the cable news outlets should team Robertson with Howard Dean for one of their prime-time shout shows.

4 Kathy, Since ID is all about science, you know -- strictly white lab coats and test tubes and stuff --- why do God and Pat Robertson take such an interest in it?

5 I can't tell if you missed my sarcasm, Commissar, or if I'm missing yours.
