Creationism and ID

An interesting picking apart by the Guardian of a recent survey of teachers about Creationism, ID and Evolution. Initially the survey looks bleak, but all may not be as it seems. Of course this will not stop those who wish ID/Creationism to be taught using the survey as though it were scientific, but then how different is that from the (invalid) argument that ID/Creationism is itself scientific?

Secondly, and more lightheartedly, my car got some new jewellery today, thanks to a birthday present from my girlfriend. I like to imagine those with Christian fish on their cars pulling up behind me in a traffic jam see my fish and say "ah" (thinking I am one of them), then a rather less happy "what the?..."
This may, of course, never happen... But it would be nice to think that some rationalists, or just undecideds spotted it and had a tiny moment of mirth.

Have a great weekend.
