While the debate over evolution vs. ``intelligent design'' in science classes rages among educators and school boards in places like Kansas and Texas, the topic is slowly gaining steam in churches and on college campuses in the Bay Area.
At a weeklong conference in May at Stanford University and at a seminar last month hosted by several South Bay churches and attended by hundreds, intelligent design has mobilized advocates on both sides -- those who believe the universe and everything in it bear the marks of a higher being, and those who believe that fossils and other scientific evidence support the theory first posed by Charles Darwin -- that living things on earth evolved naturally from other forms.

Aparently Behe was here as well. What the hell is going on here? We're as liberal as Canadians here. I thought we were one of the more sane parts of the country. :(
On the Mercury News website they've got a small discussion board area. While its too small of a sample to be significant, its 88% against ID, and ID is being shredded in the discussion there. But then, it could just be rather annoyed people like my wanting to comment on that story, so the sample would be rather biased.
And just one more edit...
