I think you are wrong...Darwin probably would be a theistic evolutionist, but if he were a teacher today, would he bring up his religious beliefs within the context of teaching his students science...if he did, he would probably be chastized...

Many teachers and professors who teach science are also theists and also believe in evolution...but I dont think that they bring the 'religious' views into the classroom...

And isnt what this case was about?...was ID just a slick way of trying to slip creationism, hence religion, back into the classroom?...the judge seemed to believe that it was, and also found no grounds for the IDers claims, that ID is actually a science...

People can believe whatever they want, in matters or religion...but bringing those religious beliefs into the classroom is a different matter...

And whether or not Darwin would have brought his own personal religious beliefs into the classroom of today, is something we will never know...

The intrusiveness of either viewpoint seems to be minimal, IMO. For someone to suggest that organized matter behaving according to predictable laws may be evidence of intelligent design is hardly the equivalent of, and hardly necessitates, some further expounding that amounts to a sermon.

To think that creationists are intent on turning the science classroom into a pulpit is absurd. The theory of evolution is not so intrusive, either. Evolutionists don't sermonize their audience and degrade them with all their theory implies. "See, you're nothing but a monkey's uncle."

Thanks. I tend to enjoy beer a great deal. One of the Creator's innumerable gifts, for which I give thanks.

For some reason, I doubt he gets accused of drinking in front of his children.
