Amazing what they accept as good 'science'. They make pronouncements on theories they pull out of their @sses and call it good science, but let someone suggest that there could be a higher power involved in creating the universe and they insist that is 'not scientific' and thus not worth teaching against their other holy theory of 'evolution'. I guess 'good science' is whatever they pronounce it to be.

Yep. And there is an unbelievable amount of theories that people can take their pick from. I choose to pick truthful intelligent design which is not a theory.

Yes, it is amazing how effective the scientific method is at separating valid ideas from horse manure.

They make pronouncements on theories they pull out of their @sses and call it good science,

No they don't. You might want to refrain from trying to critique a field you don't know enough about to properly review.

but let someone suggest that there could be a higher power involved in creating the universe and they insist that is 'not scientific'

The "suggestion" is indeed not scientific, and neither is any other "suggestion" of any other sort on any other topic. If you ever get to the point where you have a testable *theory* on that subject (*and* know what actually constitutes a theory in the scientific sense and what features your proposal will have to have to qualify), do feel free to get back to us.

and thus not worth teaching against their other holy theory of 'evolution'.

Not in science class, anyway. Go right ahead and propose Odin or Shiva or whoever in a class on religion or sociology or history if you wish.

I guess 'good science' is whatever they pronounce it to be.

I guess you don't have a clue about this subject, but you keep talking anyway. "Good science" is that which follows proper scientific procedure and validation methods. If you choose to just "propose" something instead but not go through the hard work necessary to demonstrate the validity of your proposal via the proper methods, then you shouldn't complain when your proposal doesn't qualify as science, or appropriate for teaching in science class.
