unIntelligent Design Seen Hitting the Bricks

Not that those who check their academic intellect at the door will give up, but it would seem the handwriting's on the wall for the Creationists warmed-over:

Behind the headlines, however, intelligent design as a field of inquiry is failing to gain the traction its supporters had hoped for. It has gained little support among the academics who should have been its natural allies. And if the intelligent design proponents lose the case in Dover, there could be serious consequences for the movement's credibility.

On college campuses, the movement's theorists are academic pariahs, publicly denounced by their own colleagues. Design proponents have published few papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Happy Holidays!
