It is definitely disturbing, but not very surprising. From our recent experiences here in the U.S., I would suggest that the most important things to do are to organize scientists and educators, and to engage the (voting) public in the debate. At least here in the U.S. I think that the public is actually more willing to listen to our arguments than they are generally given credit for. But organized responses are vital. If there are national or regional scientific academies and societies that are able to make statements regarding the validity of evolutionary theory, and the non-scientific nature of the other nonsense, then they should be encouraged to do so.
