For my part the only argument that I'm concerned with here is whether or not
these concepts should inform science education.  In that sense the argument
is completely impersonal - can these beliefs EVER be scientifically
investigated?  No.  So they're not science and shouldn't be in science
classrooms.

I'm also reacting to the recent cases where school boards not only tried to
add Intelligent Design to the curricula but also attempted to literally
change the definition of science to allow for the existence of
non-falsifiable within a science framework.
