I saw the Time article too. The thing that struck me was that the writer
did not seem to realize that there was any difference between advocates of
Intelligent Design and the ICR crowd. What the reporter did (I would hope
out of ignorance and not malice) is not unlike identifying all believers in
Islam with the Islamic Jihad, all people who care about environmental
stewardship with Greenpeace, or all who oppose abortion with those who bomb
clinics.

I guess this shows that it is not just the YEC crowd that sees everything
only in terms of the polarized extremes.
