"This is what I really detest about you creationists. You deliberately distort the situation in order to make you [sic] argument seem credible. Geez. That is NOT what is being taught and you know it. The kids are taught the scientific method which you totally ignore and substitute 'alarmist' language into the discussion. Get real."

Wrong. I am not being an alarmist. A judge just ruled that it is unconstitutional for legislators to require textbooks explaining evolution to include a sticker that informs students that evolution is ONLY a theory and that there are other views of the origins of life. A judge ruled that the sticker MUST not be included

This is outrageous. There is nothing scientific about this kind of dogmatism.

This same kind of PC science is systematically silencing dissenting views across many professions, not just regarding evolution, but regarding other scientific inquiry as well. Things like the social impact of homosexuality or whether homosexuality is learned or can be unlearned, or whether there is a global warming crisis, or whether an embryo is a human life.

It is against my beliefs to coerce anyone to follow them. But presenting information is not coercion. Further, participation in a web forum like this one is only possible where the laws of society regard freedom as an inherent, God-given right.

And I am all for teaching the scientific method since faith rather than dogma is essential to using it.

Wrong. I am not being an alarmist.

Then let's look at your statement. While technically true, it implies that that is what we are doing since that is your premis for change and for the sticker. At least admit that what you wrote is NOT what is being represented to the students.

It will hurt them to misrepresent science as being equivalent to dogma which does not allow for any revision in its findings or challenges to its premises.

Students are taught what a theory is and that evolution is a theory. No need for a sticker to repeat that.

and that there are other views of the origins of life.

There you go again!
