Peace to you too, Bro!
I guess my big concern is with reports the current US Administration is looking to institute ID as a "science" and have it included in school curriculum, as such.
There are those (predominantly in the powerful US Bible Belt) who would have real scientists tarred and feathered and run out of town as heretics.
These are the people who won't even tolerate the sound of a non-religious dissenting voice.
I totally agree with you Ving that we all need to keep an open mind. All of us. Including zealous devotees of ID.
Again ... peace ... maaaan
