Sheez. Don't you get it? It isn't just "God" the judge would declare unacceptable by law, but the very notion that intelligent design can explain the organization of matter that behaves according to predictable laws. And again, this judge has declared atheistic science, and atheistic science alone, to be taught in a public academic setting. That's something Marx would do.
Ok, God created all the physical laws. That's great philosophy, but where's your evidence, other than philosophy?
Like the judge said, ID is not science. And since the proponents of it in this particular case were Christians, and believed they were promoting Christianity by promoting ID, then it's religion. And religion just isn't science.
Don't you get that?
Exactly. Thanks for that summation. This IS a 1st amendment issue, as any explanation of the how the world around us came to be other than those that complement atheism is being censured, so that our children may be indoctrinated into a Godless society.
Freedom of religion is in the 1st amendment.
Seperation of Church and state is not.
