Hi Joanne,

The notion of provable ID is obviously appealing to the clergy and faithful of many religions and many have seized upon it as "proof" that their faith is correct. However, the Catholic Church, as an entity, has had its fingers burned too many times. It will not come down for or against ID until the debate is over and a post-debate scientific concensus reached (contary to the Michael Crichton article posted a little while back science operates purely by concensus ).

God is our guide! from field, from wave, From plough, from anvil, and from loom; We come, our country's rights to save, And speak a tyrant faction's doom: We raise the watch-word liberty; We will, we will,we will be free!
