Comment:	Please note that "Steve Maltz is a media consultant, writer and tour guide." He is not a scientist or a biologist. He seems to a bit behind the times, as accusing evolution of being a religion is a couple of issues older than the current "Teach The (Non-Exiatent) Controversy" catch-phrase of the religionists defending intelligent design creationism. Essentially all the supporters and defenders of intelligent design creationism are overtly or covertly religious - not scientific - organizations. These anti-science evolution deniers - some of whom believe the earth was created in 4004 BC - also deny all the findings of biology and geology and astronomy and every other science showing the great age of the universe and the earth and the evolution of life. On the other hand, essentially every scientific organization - the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Center for Science Education, and many others have declared that intelligent design creationism is religion, not science. Many of these organizations have prepared position papers, available on the internet, explaining their position. In the 2005 Dover trial in Pennsylvania, Judge John Jones ruled "We have concluded that (intelligent design) is not [science], and moreover that (intelligent design) cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents." The judge also stated: "It is ironic that several of these individuals (sworn witnesses), who so staunchly and proudly touted their religious convictions in public, would time and again lie to cover their tracks and disguise the real purpose behind the (Intelligent Design) Policy." These religious fanatics have lied to us before, and they will continue to lie to us. Remember that.
