I don't know how evos can expect anyone to take them seriously when they are afraid to teach both theories in the classroom, and let students decide for themselves.

"I don't know how evos can expect anyone to take them seriously when they are afraid to teach both theories in the classroom, and let students decide for themselves."

ID/creationism isn't a scientific theory. There is only one theory (evolution) that makes testable claims that have been supported by the evidence. ID/creationism is a theological/philosophical position. ID isn't testable. The hypothetical *designer* is alleged to be able to do anything. There is no way to differentiate between a feature designed through natural processes and one designed by an Intelligent Designer (Human artifacts are the only exception, and we didn't created the Universe).

Leftists teachers have already tried Whole Language and Whole Math. Now creationists/ID'ers, allegedly on the Right, want to introduce *Whole Science*, where every claim is just as good as any other and we'll let the kids decided what is correct or isn't. Whole Math and Whole Language were great failures; Whole Science promises to be just as much so.

And I think there ought to be a limit on these crevo threads. Sideline them, combine them, put them in their own room, something. Fr is providing a venue for a gang of obsessive freaks who care nothing for conservatism.
