I don't see why it would be any less intelligent of God to create a world in which evolution can create species than to create a world in which everything would be placed at one day as if evolution created it, or as if it were literally as the bible describes.
So using the term "Intelligent Design" for anti-evolutionism seems like a bad hijacking attempt to me.
The most important thing is not to HAVE all these books (althought it's fine).
Far more important is to actually USE any of them to learn more about human functioning and to contribute more efficiently to improving oneself and the rest of humanity.
There is certainly a very valuable treasure of human experience in such a collection -- and a lot of garbage, too (which can also be instructive -- by contrast). What I would love to see, is an HONEST and neutral compilation of human ideas. It's not necessary to read ALL this paper in order to get the most important things and start to do something.
Of course, some will say, read the Bible then. Others will prefer the Coran, or Tao Te King, or The Revelation of Arès. Fine, these are important fundamental works indeed which should be read and acted upon. But once you know the spiritual foundation of man, knowing human ideas and history is useful, too, in order to know more and act more efficiently in this mankind for the common good.
The law is not God. It is manmade. It has not more power or legitimation than any other idea.
Without the weapon of the police, it is nothing more than a contribution to a debate. This shows that a law is no differant from any tyranny.
People should respect and care for each other by their own free will. On any side. We don't need any law to do that.

Take God's Word with you.
Best probably is on paper.
It's meant for "Research" of course, as defined by the "Ministry of Truth".
Isn't there anybody who could program an appropriate converter to be loaded into MS Word?
I mean, if people can program an import filter, why not an export filter?
There certainly people who know how to do it.
Even if somebody has to sign an NDA agreement -- would it disallow to make such a filter?
I'm sure this would be more productive than waiting for MS to do it.

I use and very much like the pdf feature of OOo, but sometimes the results (with OOo up to 1.3) were unusable, especially with culumns.
Printing to the KDE PS- or PDF-Driver and saving into a file sometimes produced better results.
