I've been lurking on this site for ages, and when I read this topic, I just had to reply...The Sydney Morning Herald had a similar story today as well. I was a bit saddened to see ID actually being taught down here; I previously was under the impression that we managed to escape this brand of US Bible Belt (melo)drama. At least the Federal Minister for Education clarified his position on ID.

Have to say I didn't really run afoul of too many zealots when I was at Usyd; although one does come to mind. Mature-age student, scored 96% in undergrad biochemistry exams. Scores like this were regarded as incredible by mere mortals. Zealous to the point he would stand up in a 300 person lecture, and tell the lecturer not to swear. Needless to say, he was not particularly popular. It would've been very interesting to hear his views with regard to Evo vs. Creationism.

Re: ID and IC
O'Doherty misrepresents that which is debated within evolutionary theory; there is no hole which is a fatal flaw. His second comment about what the scientific method actually is valid; to the point that ID can be held up as an example of bad science.

Re: Update
At least the article had a subtly negative view of ID. One important point it makes is the introduction, how do scientists best counter ID?
