Old Creationist Whine
An editorial in the Detroit Jewish News looks at intelligent design and ends up defending the tradition of separation between church and state:
"In terms of provable science, though, [intelligent design] falls short. And insofar as intelligent design strongly implies a religion-based identity to the Designer, it also fails the test of keeping such instruction out of public schools.
"In the final analysis, it is simply the old creationist wine in new bottles. Those who believe in the separation of church and state should be extremely wary of allowing it to get a foothold in our schools."
