You misspelled "scientific". Hope this helps.

No, I spelled it "liberal" because it is true. Why do you think the ACLU fights for evolution every chance it gets? It's a liberal institution with a liberal axe to grind. You're the one with the strange bedfellow, not me.

The problem is that a number of crackpots want to insert "alternatives" to evolution into science classrooms even though not a one of these "alternatives" is actually scientific in nature.

I see, so even the mention that there is alternate ideas. You can't mention, even once, that some people examine what is objective and say because its so perfect it couldn't have happen the way "science" says that it did? What's unscientific about that?

But I understand why you fight so hard against it. No one likes to have their cherished beliefs challeged, so it's understandable.

They fight against the "alternatives", because the proposed "alternatives" are always religious in nature.

I see, so even the mention that there is alternate ideas.

Feel free to mention that there are "alternate" ideas that are totally unscientific in nature.

You can't mention, even once, that some people examine what is objective and say because its so perfect it couldn't have happen the way "science" says that it did?

Sure you can mention that. Just don't pretend that it's a scientific conclusion, and don't try teaching it as science.

But I understand why you fight so hard against it. No one likes to have their cherished beliefs challeged, so it's understandable.

Yes, it is hard for me to fight against creationists who react so harshly because they feel threatened by their cherished beliefs being challenged when reality completely contradicts them.
