The US right-wing trying to force ID into science classes has been reported on and argued against in New Scientist magazine here. Ifeel that it cannot be justified in any way. Im not against the US teaching ID, but keep it in its right place - the Religous Education lessons (I assume that US schools have an RE class that is compulory, if not then it may go some way to explaining the religious intolerance seen frequently). ID can even be explained as a theory that is incompatable to evolution, but it should be done in the RE class.
