The ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State once again - communism continues to try push God out of our society and culture and no doubt they will continue to win.

"While they do not reject all evolutionary theory, ID proponents argue that it incorrectly insists life took shape purely through a mindless process."

I bet this thread is going to receive many, many mindless posts!!

A pro-evolution science list with over 300 names. See the list's explanation at my freeper homepage. Then FReepmail to be added or dropped. See what's new in The List-O-Links.

There is a faction of us good folks on the right that is so incredibly blind and/or stupid as to cause the scumbags and Socialists on left, lead by the MSM, to paint everyone on the right with the same brush of the insipid.

The radical fundamentalists will kill the country's movement to the right quicker than anything.

Any London bookies laying out odds on this?

"The lawsuit, brought by 11 parents in the Dover Area School District, attacks as unconstitutional the year-old policy of telling ninth-grade biology students that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution "is not a fact. Gaps in the Theory exist for which there is no evidence."


UNCONSTITUTIONAL?!?! The Constitution is for establishing and contolling the Federal government, not regulating education.

"We object to the distinction between naturalism and supernaturalism."

A supposedly educated person actually made this statement. Amazing.

First, I'm a firm believer in Genesis' account of God's creation. Second, I'm not trying to start any fights on this (though these threads usually end up that way). With that out of the way, I must pose this question to FR's Darwinists:

Though not a direct reflection on the "science" of the case, does it not bother you that your "side" of this issue is headed by "the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State"?

Personally, I cannot imagine too many other groups I would want on my side less.

Flame away! ...or better yet, answer my question.

The lawsuit, brought by 11 parents in the Dover Area School District, attacks as unconstitutional the year-old policy of telling ninth-grade biology students that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution "is not a fact. Gaps in the Theory exist for which there is no evidence." School officials also recommend a book on intelligent design, or ID.

There are gaps in quantum theory too, but it still is truer than any other theory and can be used to design a hell of a computer.

Very little in science is ever a final truth, but lots of things like ID are so far wrong they aren't just bad science, they are non-science.

Simple question -- How did judges get this smart, about everything.

I notice they did fine work in New Orleans protecting the fishes, didn't they? Oh wait, they didn't.

Judges need to get back to reading law books and leave the public square.

[JasonSC]

ID proponents say scientists can look at life forms and identify the work of a controlling "intelligence,"

What tests do they have to determine "design"? What empirical evidence do they have?
