You mean the vote students were not allowed to criticize Darwinism?
Holy cow that is sleasy science, in any free mans mind!

Just out of curiosity, what would the curriculum in a Creation Science class consist of?

Why should anyone study creationism or intelligent design ?
It has no use.
At least evolution (even if flawed or even totally wrong) is useful from the stand point of comparetive anatomy, genetics and population dynamics.
Intelligent design merely says, "god did this", end of discussion. It is just not useful.

"so to allow criticism of that would be to criticize who they are and what they're about. That's one of the issues." No, it isn't. The issue is that if you want to try to criticize a scientific viewpoint, do it in the peer-reviewed science journals where it belongs. Don't try to make science classrooms your battleground -- schoolkids don't have the background to be the jury on that debate, which is probably why creationists are trying to drag their challenge there instead of doing it in front of actual scientists.

Turpen says although evolutionists claim they support a diversity of viewpoints in the classroom, they are quick to stifle any criticism of Darwinism. In Ohio recently, the State Board of Education voted to allow criticism of Darwinism in its tenth-grade science classes.
ain't that nice... I hated calculus, but my criticisms fell upon deaf ears. oh well, maybe my kid will be able to take the easy way out.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The studies that we call evolution, biology, physics, astronomy, etc., are the studies of how, in part at least, He did it.
I don't really see much of a conflict unless you try to tell me all this happened only 4000 years ago. That, I don't believe at all.

Y'all can teach inteligent design in schools if you want, It won't bother me, but don't try to pass it off as Science.
Science is the study of how things work when there is no supernatural action.
Inteligent design might even be correct, but it can never be science. Call it theology, that's what it is.

More than 200 evolutionists have issued a statement ...Just "more than 200 evos?" Nothing else special about them? It must be depressing when spin is all you have left.

"There's a financial issue here, too," he says. "When you have that kind of an establishment based on those kinds of thought patterns, to show that there may be some scientific evidence -- and there is -- that would refute that, undermines their ability to control the science education and the financial end of it."In related news, the coming war in Iraq is because of America's insatiable lust for oil. </s>

According to Darwinism, all of us are related to coffee tables, bananas, and lice.

TEACH EVOLUTION! Over two hundred scientists named Steve agree (from the link)
Shows to what depths evolution has sunk that they propose something as silly and totally lacking any scientific basis as their 'reason' why evolution must be taught. Gee whiz, if evolution is science, then why do they not argue the science instead of nonsense like this?

First off it is ridiculous to call people who believe in Darwin's theory of evolution, fossil thumpers. The most compelling evidence supporting Darwin's theory is not hominid fossil evidence found in East Africa, but genetic evidence showing our similarities with other higher primates such as chimps, bonobos, and gorillas. Then again it is also ridiculous to ignore scientific evidence in favor of outmoded midevil religious text too. Also there are many political conservatives who think Creationism is rubbish. There are also liberals who think Darwin's theory is rubbish. The question is as a matter of quality in our education systems, do we want to teach people something (e.g. Creationism) which has absolutely no tangible science to back it up or do we want teach a theory and let me stress THEORY, regarding the development of not only human beings but life in general on this planet. Yes it is possible to teach Darwin's theory to those who do not and will not believe it. That is why scientists refer to Darwin's idea of evolution as a THEORY. You can reject any theory you want, however you are taken more seriously if you look at ALL the evidence and respond to whether or not such evidence is valid.
