I think today a pluralistic society should have access to a broad range of fact, of science, including faith
As long as they are taught in the appropriate classes. Faith in Bible Study, Science in Science class.

Either he doesn't know better (unlikely), or he's pandering. Either way, it reflects very badly on him.

Nearly all scientists dismiss it as a scientific theory . . . If it is a scientific theory, then why would they want to dismiss it?
To: SmithL
This issue isn't going away. You Evol-Doers will have to start defending your 'belief-system' with actual Science, instead of blind belief.
P.S. Science must be observable and repeatable. Have fun kiddies.

"Echoing similar comments from President Bush, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said "intelligent design" Scientology and Raelianism should be taught in public schools alongside evolution."
Beam me up; the aliens are coming to get us!

It doesn't reflect well on the rest of the party either. What's really scary is that people are now going to start taking Dean's comments about Bush (and by implication, all other Republicans) being "anti-science" seriously, instead of being another of his moonbat ravings.

Yup, the Raelians believed in something that noone had ever observed, just like Darwinists.

It is always nice to see the Darwinist superstition getting kicked, but Frist is probably trying to regain his reputation after his support for embryonic stem cell research.

Either he doesn't know better (unlikely), or he's pandering. He could be doing both. He's running for president after all.
To: Physicist
He's pandering. He's trying to ingratiate himself with the RR after his stem-cell statement.
I've had it with the GOP. Megaspending, total cave in on racial preferences, inaction or worse on illegal immigration, pandering to fundamentalists...it's back to the Libertarian Party for me.

Who told you that events predicted by the ToE have never been observed?

They dismiss it AS a scientific theory, as in IT AINT ONE.
Also even if it was a scientific theory (presupposing supernatural intervention is not science it is theology); it would be dismissed along with any other scientific theory that the evidence doesn't tend to support.
The evidence doesn't support it.
It isn't a scientific theory.
Scientists reject it for both reasons.

Evolutions are on the same side as crazy Howard Dean (among many other antivalues flaming libs on your side). Very telling.

Science must be observable and repeatablGood luck with ID on those. What are you going to do for repeatability; ask your god to remake the universe?

Good point. When has evolution ever conformed to the scientific method?

Why are you folks so threatened by a discussion of the possibility of intelligent design?
