The hysteria about "the death of science" and "ruin the schools" (what's this we've got now?) ... as if no one will ever do a chemistry experiment or a physics experiment again ... makes it clear that the basis of the controversy is religion.
So hit the proverbial nail on the head.
"...makes it clear that the basis of the controversy is religion".
But the trustworthy scientists keep telling us that science is 'value - neutral', and that there is nothing religious about what they are up to. They keep saying "trust us". Sort of like the Doctors at St. Vincents, who told the liver transplant patients ...'trust us to be fair about the waiting list'. And then we find out the Saudi man with his new liver, and his lots of money can corrupt Doctors too..
Oh wait: bio - scientists ... the PhD types .. they are not suseptible to such temptations about money. And fame...
I keep forgetting that tidbit.
I notice you didn't include biology among your unaffected sciences.
>>> as if no one will ever do a chemistry experiment or a physics experiment again ...
Well, if ID is adopted, further research into many physics experiments related to the origins of the universe might as well come to a halt.
Well said. The truth is not served by ridiculous hyperbole.
"Going to ruin the schools"......The schools have been ruined for decades. Where has this turkey been for the past umpteen years?
"The hysteria about "the death of science" and "ruin the schools" (what's this we've got now?) ... as if no one will ever do a chemistry experiment or a physics experiment again ... makes it clear that the basis of the controversy is religion."
You are so correct, and just like liberals, evolutionists found a way for the tax payers to pay for their religion, "public schools".
The controversy is entirely due to the evolutionary dogmatic insisting that ID must be synonimous with "God". I note humorously that the supporters of ID need not go there; the opposition will make sure it's there in order to maintain a target to attack.
