A pro-evolution group has organized what appears to be a successful boycott of Kansas hearings on intelligent design.
Alexa Posny, a deputy commissioner with the state department of education, told the Kansas City Star that only one person has agreed to testify on the pro-evolution side for the hearings scheduled for May.
"We have contacted scientists from all over the world," Posny said. "There isn't anywhere else we can go."
Harry McDonald, head of Kansas Citizens for Science, charged that the hearings, called by a conservative majority on the state board of education, have a pre-ordained outcome.He said that testifying would only make intelligent design appear legitimate.
"Intelligent design is not going to get its forum, at least not one in which they can say that scientists participated," he said.
Backers of intelligent design, the claim that a supreme being guided evolution, say it is a theory with scientific backing. Opponents believe it is an attempt to smuggle religion into public education.
Dr. DumbBleep's $250,000 offer! We are vanquished! Vanquished!!
Where did you get this information?
How do YOU know? The applied science of biotech requires no faith in macroevolution.
No, but information communication implies such.
"Where did you get this information?"
www.pulled_it_out_of_my_***.com
I get a lot of my best information from that site.
YEAH thats right. They were related. After all thats what evolution sa....oh wait.
The bio-tech industry would be stupid to make belief in evolution a prerequisite for employment. As for universities . . . we already know their "wisdom."
Evolution does not cover the origin of life. It only explains what came after.
BTW, Dr. Dino doesn't have a quarter of a million dollars to give away, so he'll never pay off. Hell, if he had that kind of money the IRS would've seized it by now.
Dang. I thought I was the only one who knew about that web site.
He would bet that much of his own money?
Gosh evolution must be false.
Thou must obtain exogenous citric acid and eat oranges and/or lemons for all of eternity!!
What are some documented cases of the type of evolution necessary for Darwinian - even on the microevolution level - in other words where information is added to the DNA sequence through mutations? As opposed to mutations which lose information, which is what evos like to point to as observed cases of evolution?
Dead matter doesn't imply once living, it's just a common term for organic material that isn't "alive"
Not "no longer alive" simply "isn't alive"
Now we're judging people's screen names? let's get back to the subject at hand please!!!
Why do you ask? Is that the only thing holding you back from accepting the theory of evolution? Would evidence of that change your mind?
Rather have KISS. And considering KISS is like number 8 on my list...
The Bible refers to the "circle" of the Earth.
Just noting the meaning of their names and what it implies. Thats what names are for, expressing to others who we are.
If he establishes himself off the bat as completely opposing Christ (or any religion) how can we trust him to be unbiased in his studies and claims?
