...These concerns echo those expressed by backers of intelligent design, who include a mix of mostly Protestants and Roman Catholics. The ID advocates take pains to distinguish themselves from old-school "creationists," arguing instead that evolution has simply elbowed out any other explanation for how we or the world was created. Darwin, they worry, has become "Darwinism" - natural science transformed into dogmatic philosophy. Still, the heart of the battle in the U.S. is not about theology or philosophy. It's about location. Proponents say ID should be taught in biology class at public schools, and this is a debate that...
...ID proponents have found intellectual allies in the highest reaches of the Catholic hiearchy. Christoph Cardinal Sch?nborn, the influential Archbishop of Vienna, wrote an opinion piece last year in the New York Times that was favorable to the theory of intelligent design. Three months later, the pope entered the fray personally, when he used the words "intelligent project" to describe the universe's creation. Not surprisingly Sch?nborn, who was a star student in the early 1970s of then professor of theology Father Joseph Ratzinger, will give the equivalent of the keynote address this weekend at the Castel Gandolfo get-together...

...Rudy Espinal, president of the newly formed Hazleton Hispanic Business Association, which has 43 members. The ordinance threatens any business "that aids and abets illegal aliens... through any agent, ruse, guise device or means, however indirect." "We believe it is too difficult to expect business owners to start checking IDs before they sell a soda" said Espinal, who moved to Hazleton in 2001 and is now a real estate agent and tax preparer and a plaintiff in the lawsuit. The Dominican immigrant, who has lived in the U.S. since 1988, says he doesn't feel personally targeted by the ordinance...
