I met some of those scientists and professors who were expelled. There's a knee-jerk reaction on both the far right and far left that writes people off by the their association with terms. Evolution and Intelligent Design are dirty words to them. We need to find a way to bridge that gap. I will check out Avlon's book. Chyristina,

Now you're really talking my language. I saw Ben Stein's documentatry/case "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." I was flored by the scientists, journalists and other professionals who were expelled from univeristy or fired from their jobs simply for starting the dialogue about intelligence design. ( http://www.expelledthemovie.com/ ). When did we become a society where you can no longer question? When did academia become so closed to observation, critique and fundamental inquisition. I'm really starting to believe John Avlon is onto something with his book "Wingnuts." The lunatic fringe (on both sides Right and Left) are going off the deep end trying to be right. Thanks for this.
