I think the standard’s the same for all ideas to be included in a science class. They simply have to be supported by objective evidence, becoming a theory rather than just an idea. Then some gain sufficient evidence that moves them from theory to fact.
While ID evangelicals are searching for their first piece of evidence, some activists want it moved into science classes now. Some apparently think that their best hope for evidence is to disprove a critical component of evolution. They’re attacking its weak points, as they should, but haven’t achieved anything approaching a disproof.
Some ID activists appear to be attempting to equate the lack of evidence that would prove evolution as a fact with the a “double standard” imposed on ID by expecting it to present any objective evidence that would make it a theory. I think that’s what you’re picking up on. They want to bar lowered for ID’s entry into science, but present it as an unfair burden on them.
If you want to make a point to me, please put it succinctly in your own words. I can’t read every belligerent pontification copied and pasted to me. Life’s short
Well, I AM sorry you don't read. Too bad really.
Here's the thing- not ONE person here is an expert in this subject. Therefore I prefer to post the article rather than doing what some do- post information as their own, typing info they do NOT understand.
There’s an old adage that you don’t really learn something until you have to teach it. I’ve found that to be true. Also, you don’t lean how to reconcile disagreements without practice in composing focused rebuttals.
If we all just copied and pasted our own propaganda, the fools with the most time to waste polluting discussions with rubbish would dominate. And then like you, they’d demand the attention of those expected to read their spam. Spend any time on a forum like this or in public an you’ll recognize the need to separate junk mail from real dialogue.
I hope that helps your in the future.
Atheism is a religion. It requires faith that evolution is true. I say "faith" because there is no factual scientific proof that species evolved, just a bunch of guess because two specie looks like each other.
