Sounds to me like Kenneth Woodward should be eating crow right now. There are many people like him who pretend to speak for personally religious people like me. While they are free to express their extremism, they should not be given allowed to do so in our nation’s newspapers under the guise that they represent anything other than the minority viewpoint. For as the Dover election shows, for every one of them, there are far more of us. Religion has its place in the personal morality of our nation’s scientists, not in the public education of our nation’s children.

It's about the politicization of science.
