Although Marx and Darwin may not have shared views directly, they do hold common ground inasmuch as both tended toward disuse of theistic considerations. The former employed force of law to make his point. The latter did not. That's presently up to those disciples of his who prefer to take naturalism to its logical conclusion, like Judge Jones. Darwin would most likely be considered a theistic evolutionist, hence Judge Jones would not want him in the science classroom. Neither would Marx.
I think you are wrong...Darwin probably would be a theistic evolutionist, but if he were a teacher today, would he bring up his religious beliefs within the context of teaching his students science...if he did, he would probably be chastized...
Many teachers and professors who teach science are also theists and also believe in evolution...but I dont think that they bring the 'religious' views into the classroom...
And isnt what this case was about?...was ID just a slick way of trying to slip creationism, hence religion, back into the classroom?...the judge seemed to believe that it was, and also found no grounds for the IDers claims, that ID is actually a science...
People can believe whatever they want, in matters or religion...but bringing those religious beliefs into the classroom is a different matter...
And whether or not Darwin would have brought his own personal religious beliefs into the classroom of today, is something we will never know...
By the way, love your last name...
