Lets face it, none of this is really about science or IE or ToE.

It's really about whether or not there is a God and which side will use government power to further their concept.

That is why I have said many times, abolish government schools and there will be no fight.

Speak for yourself.

" It's really about whether or not there is a God and which side will use government power to further their concept."

No, it really isn't.

" That is why I have said many times, abolish government schools and there will be no fight."

As good a goal as I think that is, it doesn't change the situation now.

Just for the record, I want to stress that this is exactly the right thing to do. Not just because of creation/evolution/etc. The very premise that the government should be taking our children and teaching them what to think about anything, let alone everything, ought to send shivers down the spine of every freedom loving person. It's horrendous.

The fact that people on this forum are happy that the state, let alone an unelected oligarchic judicialcrat, is not just setting curriculum, but defining the very categories and boundaries within which our children are to be allowed to learn and think is utterly shocking.

I look forward to a day when all schools are private. Then the evolutionists can set up as many institutions as they want where they tell the parents that their kids will learn one and only one point of view, and never be exposed to alternate hypotheses.

Personally I think you should always be suspicious of those people who embrace the power of the state to push their way of thinking.
