Should Religious Leaders Be Held Responsible for Preaching Intelligent Design?

On November 17, 2009 a forum was held at City University of New York on the purpose of religion. This video below is just one part of that forum. In this portion philosopher Daniel Dennett argues that it is immoral for pastors to teach intelligent design. Theologian John Haught criticizes Dennett's language but expresses agreement with his position, identifying creationism as "not only bad science, but horrible theology." Watch this exchange of ideas below.
