In the new American theocracy, we won't have to call creationism "Intelligent Design" to get around US Supreme Court rulings anymore. No, we'll just refer to it by what it really is!
Schools will no longer be allowed to teach the theory of evolution because there is no need for a theory when we already possess God's "truth". Museums and science exhibits will be required to show how the world was created only 6,000 or so years ago. While this dumbing down of future generations is bad enough, it certainly won't be the worst of it.
As it stands right now, many science-minded individuals emigrate to the United States to further their studies and careers. They find jobs in many of our outstanding research universities, with government agencies and in a wide variety of corporations. Unfortunately, once creationism replaces bona fide science, this trend will be reversed!
Not only will foreign scientists not emigrate here, but our leading home-grown scientific minds will hasten to emigrate to other nations that continue to value the scientific process. Within a generation or two, we will begin to see the real affects of this "brain drain."
Not that our religious/governmental leaders will mind!! A dumbed down populace is that much easier to fool and manipulate. By the the mid to latter part of this century -- provided "the rapture" has not occurred yet -- Americans will more closely resembled mindless zombies than cognizant human beings!
