They're missing an opportunity
My mind is still overly occupied with courseware work. Feels like I should be putting more in this space, but 'More' is out of stock. Back ordered.
One thought popped up this afternoon, caused by re-reading some of my Grand Blueprint entries.
The Intelligent Design folks are missing a grand opportunity to write a school-level textbook. It wouldn't be approved by public schools, of course, because they're more-than-fully owned by Satan, more-than-fully devoted to raw falsehood and unadulterated hyperevil. And it wouldn't be used by home-schoolers because they're hardline biblical literalists. But it might get read by some smart kids who are dissatisfied by the two extremes.
The ID-style biology text wouldn't need to mention ID. It would only need to take in all the wonders and marvels of living Nature that have been discovered by REAL secular biologists in the last 20 years. Epigenetics, the Grand Blueprint idea of subtractive development, genes serving the same purpose in completely different animals and plants, the linked communication network of bacteria and fungi. One word, young man: PURPOSE.
A smart youngster would independently see the designer from a sufficiently interesting narrative of the design.
