what the hell is an orthodox Darwinist? (other than another fanciful concept from the ID world). Darwin was merely a man, a god fearing man at that. And you claim WE are the ones speaking for the "other side?!"

Your idea about presenting all the "myths" and letting 14 year olds think for themselves is oh-so-admirable. But its a bunch of hooey. That would be more suited for creative writing class, not biology. Does "Last Thusdayism" get equal time? What about Timmy's idea that he came up with after eating the paste that says, "Timmy created the universe in a dream when Timmy was 5?" Does that get equal time.

Here's a novel idea: Let the scientists stick to science and teach biology as we currently KNOW to be true. It's not that difficult. Let the religionists continue to preach their ideas at church. End of story. Any kid who is confronted with the ridiculously obvious truths behind the scientific ideas will rightly place his religious myth where it belongs: in the "nice story" bin.

Sheesh.

what the hell is the “ID world” (speaking of “what the hell”) Orthodox Darwinists believe that Darwinist Evolution is complete and scientifically proves the origin of the universe. Most Orthodox Darwinists believe evolution as a cosmological theory can be proven by science.

scientific theory zealots

Why would you teach cosmology is biology? I personally think it is wrong to teach theory as fact.

I have no idea what you are talking about. This makes no sense.

Here's a novel idea: Let the scientists stick to science and teach biology as we currently KNOW to be true.

Then they must stop teaching evolution as cosmology because it is NOT KNOWN to be true.

It's not that difficult.

Is Lying difficult?

Let the religionists continue to preach their ideas at church. End of story.

It may be the end of your thought process but it is far from the end of story. You assume all theories of cosmology other than evolution are religion - you are wrong.

Any kid who is confronted with the ridiculously obvious truths behind the scientific ideas will rightly place his religious myth where it belongs: in the "nice story" bin.

Only someone that has no clue what they are talking about would put “ridiculously obvious truth” in a debate on cosmology. HINT: there are no “ridiculously obvious truths” related to the origin of the universe. Statements like that make you sound like a zealot who is more interesting in “winning” and defending their beliefs than searching for knowledge.

Sheesh.

That is one point your got right.
