I commented over at http://davidbrin.blogspot.com/2007/03/vast-data-dump-of-misc-stuff.html
about the BLOG Against Theocracy, and he suggested this article as something to use in case he didn't have time to get in on the BLOGSWARM. Great article at the source!!!!

How about the Raelians' view of (a godless) intelligent design?

		Scientist and science fiction writer David Brin carries Intelligent Design creationism to its logical conclusion by showing the numerous “other alternatives” to Darwinian evolution that creationists don’t want you to know about, such as the designer of the Intelligent Designer, Panspermia, and others.

		<SPAN class="FirstLines">There is rich irony</SPAN> in how the present battle over Creationism v. Darwinism has taken shape, and especially the ways that this round differs from previous episodes. A clue to both the recent success — and the eventual collapse — of “Intelligent Design” can be found in its name, and in the new tactics that are being used to support its incorporation into school curricula. In what must be taken as sincere flattery, these tactics appear to acknowledge just how deeply the inner lessons of science have pervaded modern culture.
