Free scientific inquiry is the best idea, Darwin can be scrutinized, it doesn't matter if it is religious people that are doing the questioning. It doesn't matter how many bad anaolgies you and others use to change the subject or to feebly denigrate those that disagree with you, the civilized idea that took years to develop is free inquiry and freedom of expression and speech.
Free scientific inquiry is, I will agree, the bedrock of Western civilization.
Problem is, free scientific inquiry has nothing to do with ID. Free scientific inquiry reveals ID to be worthless, with zero scientific value. It's just not worth discussing on scientific terms.
Proponents of ID, having lost the battle of free scientific inquiry, have taken to lies and deception to advance their agenda. They cannot support ID in scientific terms, so they resort to fraud. They have lied about their true motives, as has already been shown in this trial. Their dishonesty reveals how they really feel about your "free scientific inquiry."
The notion that evolution cannot be scrutinized is a creationist lie. Evolution is constantly scrutinized. It is constantly tested. Every new piece of evidence has the potential to refute evolution, but every new piece of evidence only reaffirms evolution's position as the only theory to actually address the evidence.
Free scientific inquiry is the best support that evolution could ever ask for, because for two hundred years free scientific inquiry has provided volumes of evidence to support it.
You and others are the thug at the classroom door. Please move.
One whose cloaked agenda relies upon deception has no claim to the classroom, period. We will not yield to lies.
The lack of evidence is actual evidence. In the case of evolution, the lack of a fossil record of transitional forms is actual evidence that transitional forms did not and do not exist.
Which life-forms, that exist today, do you think are transitional? Why is a transitional form, simply not a life-form? Why do evolutionists even have to bother creating the fiction of transitional forms?
The obvious reason is that without the propaganda of the existence of transitional life-forms, no reasonable person would believe in evolution.
