When I was a kid, we didn’t need a bill like this. You were free to question anything you liked. Things have really changed under the communists. The Bill of Rights just ain’t working these days. We now need the politicians to pass bills to guarantee our rights. Piss poor excuse for a country if you ask me.

Radio Check.

Do I understand Intelligent Design to be the idea that God may have used evolutionary mechanisms as a part of creation? That is, the Earth and life was created at one level, and then evolved to another.

Are there Intelligent Design advocates who reject evolution?

I think (personally and I was scientifically trained) that the theory of evolution within species is fairly well demonstrated. However, it cannot explain how sentient beings arose. I believe that it is possible our animal species may have evolved to a point at which it was created as a human; i.e., GIVEN a soul.

I cannot yet prove that, but I think it worthy of investigation. Nor can strict evolutionists yet demonstrate our eventual descent from some primordial chemical soup, or answer the question, "Who made the soup?"

The real question becomes, "Why is not my theory worthy of investigation (which is to say academic support,) but that other guy's is?"

This will cause the militant evoluntionists heads to explode. How dare any other premise for the origin of the human species be mentioned, afterall good science is to reject anything that doesn’t agree with your well established widely accepted fully agreed upon premise or theory (just like global warming). Funny thing is, everytime someone says the argument is over, it is really just beginning. Just think, because of the educational desire to keep everything intellectually pure, they actually have to come up with a law to allow debate. No wonder our country has an army of lawyers thriving while the rest of society grinds to a halt.

Advocating scientific freedom will cause riots.

Science has become a well funded propaganda outlet controlled by Big Government. Its used for all manner of political agendas.

Being able to question things will not be tolerated !!!

For anyone thinking this isn’t necessary, watch the movie Expelled. For even mentioning in the classroom that there are people that don’t believe in evolution, the careers of brilliant academics have been destroyed.

I think it is available on Netflix and Amazon.

Protect them from what, I’m afraid to ask?

Good post. See our we site www.faithfacts.org for a summary of the scientific evidence against Darwinism.

What a SAD, SAD state of affairs this is indicative of.

Boy, that’s a relief! I know there were a coupe of folks in the Astronomy department that were kind of laying low because of their belief that the Earth was flat. And a few of the boys up in Geology were thinking that the it’s pretty hard not to climb on the “world is 6,000 years old” bandwagon, but they were afraid their jobs might be a stake if rather than teaching the predominant paradigm, they started pushing the idea that the constants that everyone else has to work with - you know, isomeric decay, that sort of thing - was just a bunch of hooey. Good thing a bunch of politicians who probably never got through sophomore biology know better...

bill would make it illegal for colleges to fire or refuse jobs to professors based on their research on intelligent design or other theories on the origin of life that question evolution.

Employers ought to be able to hire those who best further the goals of the organization and fire those who don't.

You shouldn't question evolutionists; they always tell the truth. Like, for example, Darwin Medalist Reginald Punnett.

"The one instance of eugenlc importance that could be brought under immediate control is that of feeble-mindedness. Speaking generally, the available evidence suggests that it is a case of simple Mendelian inheritance. Occasional exceptions occur, but there is every reason to expect that a policy of strict segregation would rapidly bring about the elimination of this character."
He wrote that in a scientific paper, so you just have to accept it and anyone who questions it should get canned.
