My only hope is that these "Intelligent Design" advocates don't try and peddle off their laughable book: Of Pandas and People: The Central Question of Biological Origins as an altenative "science" textbook... I shudder to think of the damage that that load of propaganda could do to any poor kid hoping to have a future in science (well outside of Bob Jones Uni).

I had the dubious pleasure of reading it in my Prehistoric Anthropology class - the lectures where we covered the "crack-pot" theories of history and evolution (aliens, Atlantis, time travel, etc. )... At first I was offended by the oversights and/or poor research that the authors where guilty of... then I realized that they purposefully misrepresented or ommitted information in order to "prove" their point. AKA_Monet if you ever want to see the cutting edge of Intelligent Design "material" check this book out... but have more than a few stiff drinks before hand...
