 it is okay.  i still think that, rather than one composed by any particular WP editor that someone on some side might accuse to be a partisan on the other side, that for the very first sentence, a dictionary definition would be more bullet proof.  if anyone from any side comes out of the woodwork and says that the definition is skewed to far to the anti- or pro-ID side, we can tell them to take it up with Merriam-Webster or American Heritage or the OED.  but i won't object to any defining lead that doesn't by OR and/or POV create, ""out of whole cloth"", a definition that has nothing semantically in common with verifiable existing definitions.
