Chilling quote for the day...

In regard to ID proponents...

"We just need to make sure that we do all that we can to bottle them up; they will never go away, but we can lessen their impact."

That's what it's all about for these folks..."bottle them up / lessen their impact".

That's going to be pretty hard to do as it appears that ID proponents are out smarting these folks attempts to "bottle them up" at every turn lately. The public is waking up and taking notice of their nonsense. You may recall the words in my previous post...

While bullying tactics may work against some individuals who are trying to explore the origins of life, it will not work against us. We certainly will not allow a small group of self-appointed gatekeepers to infringe our rights of free speech and our obligation to expose them for what they are – namely, intellectual thugs unwilling to accept any dissent from Darwinian orthodoxy.”

Ben Stein, the star of the movie, also makes it clear that no one will shut him up. “I came to this project unsure what I would find. I am now amazed at the intolerance of many academic elites. I feel that it is my mission to speak out on behalf of targeted dissenters and fight for their freedom of speech and freedom of inquiry.”
