An interesting column from the Ideas section of today's Sunday Boston Globe.

Raiders of the faux ark

Quote:

Biblical archeology is too important to leave to crackpots and ideologues. It's time to fight back.

...

Biblical archeologists are suddenly finding themselves in a position similar to the evolutionary biologists fighting intelligent design - an entire parallel version of their field is being driven by religious belief, not research principles. The biologists' situation makes the risk clear - they did not deign to mount a public refutation of the "science" of intelligent design for years, until it was almost too late, and thus anti-evolutionary science began making its way into the public schools.
