jinianFox News gets it right for a change:
Emphasis is mine and points out the correct characterization of each side.
Unfortunately, the article is about how the U.S. falls behind every country surveyed but Turkey on belief in evolution. We've lost some ground. I still think we'll eventually get to the point where people understand scientific facts, but the way some religious people are being exploited by the Republican party is messing things up pretty good. Maybe I should become a science teacher after all, but I still think it would make me nuts; exposing kids to a really mad scientist might not have my intended effect.
ID proponents say they do not deny that evolution is true, only that scientists should not rule out the possibility of supernatural intervention.
But scientists do not share doubts over evolution. They argue it is one of the most well tested theories around, supported by countless tests done in many different scientific fields.
