Did anybody watch it? Interesting.

Unfortunately I only caught the last 20 mins of it (due to the tennis and cricket!

), but it looked like an interesting doco.

Am also reading "The God Delusion" atm which I'm quite enjoying.

I watched it - while it did open up inteligent design in my eyes from more than just a religion/creationism perspective, it still seems like theres some major flaws in the argument though....I'm glad its not getting tought here.

It's a shame though that debating it will add a perceived legitemacy to their claims - because in places were intelligent design is taking hold, people should be properly educated in the reasoning behind each system. That said, wherever ID is taking hold, logic is unlikely to sway anyone especially if their comming at the debate from a religious fundementalist perspective.

It talked a bit about a certain case with a school board who were trying to introduce creationism into the school curriculum.
