BioLogos: Teaching Evolution to Students of Faith

I think the NCSE is partially a religious organization. I went to one of their meetings with the local San Francisco bay area atheists organization and saw the joint planning going on. They are clearly pushing a secular world view.

Why do we need any advocacy groups pushing the education material.

I agree with you both sides should have a say in what goes on.

The claims of evolution have been maintained because it is seen as a God substitute. I think this is very bad for science. Its truth (the grand claims of evolution UCD etc) is based on assumption and not tested science yet sold as fact.

I have often found that these types of discussions get diverted into culture war territory. This is because the science is settled on the issue. Those who are fighting against evolution have no chance in a scientific debate, so they try to use the rhetoric of politics and religion to argue against it.
