Critics of ID have lavished over an editorial cartoon which suggests that astrology , alchemy, phrenology and magic should be taught. This posting is a response to this particular criticism. See my earlier postings where I discuss creationism and public schools.How much time does the average science teacher spend teaching about evolution? I would not think very much time at all. One reason I am for the Academic Freedom movement is to support teachers in the way they teach and students in their expressions. Teachers should not fear being fired for at least acknowledging controversy exists.
The difference between ID astrology, (even Chinese horoscope), alchemy, phrenology and magic is that there are numerous scientists who advocate some form of ID publicly and quietly. Not all ID scientists agree the same. For example Behe has expressed an openness to common decent in his book "The Edge of Evolution."
