Ohio public schools are battling over how to teach the different views of
the origin of life. Some educators believe the theory of "Intelligent
Design" deserves a place in the school curriculum because it's a science.
But critics say ID is not science at all. So, what is intelligent design?
Why do some educators find it so objectionable?
The discussion went pretty well, though perhaps a few too many Fundies
called in to "help" Behe out.
Those with Real Audio can hear it at the site cited.
