John Derbyshire on Intelligent Design
Worth a read--he injects a lot of common sense into the debate.
I personally think that high school seniors (and ESPECIALLY college students) could use a bit of education in moral philosophy and metaphysics (some good Plate and especially Aristotle). That would give them a grounding in understanding high questions that are behind this debate on I.D. Then maybe they'd be more engaged in understanding how the world works and why and how things are right and wrong instead of just gliding by like a herd of sheep being lead to pasture.
