Evolution has been very conclusively proven, even more so with the recent advances in genetic technology. I think that knocks creationism on the head pretty well ...... but people can and will believe in what they want (there are creation myths in every culture and many people do believe them.)

Good luck to them.

Shame on them for trying to teach a belief as fact in schools though.

Intelligent design seems to just be a prevaricating response to the disproving of the creation myth though? Isn't it just a convenient twisting of belief to fit around or avoid facts?

People get really het up about all this stuff though -so no offence to anyone who is either a scientific or religious fanatic out there.

Incidentally, I went to the same school as Charles Darwin - not a lot of people know that.
