Free Republic is currently running a poll on this subject:
Do you think creationism or intelligent design should be taught in science classes in secondary public schools as a competing scientific theory to evolution?You can find the poll at the bottom of your "self search" page, also titled "My Comments," where you go to look for posts you've received.
I don't know what effect -- if any -- the poll will have on the future of this website's science threads. But it's certainly worth while to know the general attitude of the people who frequent this website.
Science isn't a democracy, and the value of scientific theories isn't something that's voted upon. The outcome of this poll won't have any scientific importance. But the poll is important because this is a political website. How we decide to educate our children is a very important issue. It's also important whether the political parties decide to take a position on this. (I don't think they should, but it may be happening anyway.)
If you have an opinion on this subject, go ahead and vote.
Hold on...
(sound of 5-watt bulb sputtering above my head...)
...OH!!
The Making of the Atomic Bomb had a sequel, you mean.
I'll have to read it, thanks for letting me know it existed.
(sigh. one *more* task for my overburdened reading list.)
Cheers!
You do explain the ideal, but individual mileage may vary.
See for example John Darsee, Hwang Woo-Suk; and of course for waters muddied for a long time see David Baltimore.
For other sniping read Gary Taubes' Nobel Dreams about Carlo Rubbia...

nicely done.
that is what you call an apology?
do you recall the apology I rendered to you, without being prompted, upon realizing -on my own, mind you- that I had misread one of your posts and had gone off on you less justly than I had thought?
Do you need me to dig up the URL to that apology, or will you -in a sudden fit of real humility- admit that I did indeed make such an apology to you?
THAT, sir, was an apology.
You owe that much and more - to jaguarbhzrd, to andysandmikesmom, and to quite a few others here.
the kiss to the buttocks you gave to the Admin Mod after being slapped was more sincere than your "apology" to jaguarbhzrd, and that grotesquely obsequious smooch positively REEKED of C.Y.O.A.
many of those who support creationism/ID/platonism sadden me, puzzle me, and even irritate me... but almost none actually revolt me.
almost none.
Hope all is well.
Cheers!
all is... acceptable-to-well, thanks.
I trust all goes well with you and yours?
rework it a skosh so you can set it to the "slinkie" jingle, and you might have an earworm
Thanks for asking.
But it is past my bedtime, so off to sleep I go...
G'night...
ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
yeah, same here. 'nite.
Damn. It's like writing "Cats" and being told to lose the animals and throw in a chandelier and an organ.
<sniff!>
Mealy mouthed weasel excuse for an apology placemarker.
Oh, I agree, the process isn't perfect, but it's far better than the alternatives!
The way the system is set up, the 'bull' tends to iron itself out over time - the only question is how much time....
Neutral, non-offensive, non-apologetic placemarker.
Placemarker Placemarker Placemarker
well, you know, all those Gilbert and Sullivan ditties sound alike.
