That doesn't change the fact that in the U.S., intelligent design is being pushed by people on the right. That doesn't mean that all people who are right wing are the same. Nor does it mean that all religious zealots are right wing, or that all right wingers are religious zealots.
But you have to remember, politics is already way more secular in Canada. It's very different down here--one of the first things I had to get used to. It's arguably the case that secular conservatism has been on the decline in the U.S., and both the left and the right are the sorrier for it.
I have no doubt that there are people on the right who would agree with me on this issue. I doubt, however, that they would "argue me to death" on it. We'd simply say "we agree" and move on to other things.

Fair enough. I realize its being pushed by people on the right, which to me is ridiculous.
But I also think that its ridiculous to try and use Darwin to explain the origin of man. IMO, Darwin and Intelligent design are in the same boat.
