If people in this country were really honest, ID has far more to do with social and
political control of the populace. Most pro-IDers have little or no background or
interest in science or finding out the real facts. God made the Universe and that's
it as far as they are concerned. And they will put as much pressure as possible on

Hundreds of years ago, Islamic culture was one of the most advanced on Earth.
Arab scholars preserved much of the ancient writings and ideas of Western Europe,
not to mention doing a lot of their own research.

essentially that if it wasn't in the Koran, it was forbidden. The whole move by these
people was to keep the populace in line. And look what happened.

Do not let history repeat itself, or say bye-bye to Western Civilization.
