Intelligent Design has much more evidence than this Islamic theory.
In a world history class, one learns of the world's most popular religions. But in our science classes, the nation is so concerned with labeling Intelligent design as simply something found in only religious texts, that they ignore the fact that it has quite alot of proof and refuse to recognize another popular theory.
Now you're moving the goalposts. Here's your original statement:
"If we believe it is possible, then why do we try and prevent our students from learning such theories?"
Well, if the Nation of Islam think it's possible, why prevent students from learning it? Are you being discriminatory?
Or is it that you only want your own religious faith - and no others - taught as fact?
