Doubt vs. Ignorance

And now, a quick rant:

I've found the recent stupidity in Kansas (and, recently, Utah) really aggravating. It's not just that Intelligent Design isn't science. And it's not just that Intelligent Design is an attempt to sneak creationism into the schools, to create a God shaped hole in the science curriculum. It's that Intelligent Design, like all forms of "Creation Science" is opposed to intellectualism in general.

There is no limit to how absurd this sort of thing gets, and it's not something that just goes away.
