"My point is that the process by which that differentiation was rolled out to us, the end user of the symbol set, (a set which contains words like 'science', faith, theories, etc) is a process that is 'owned'."

Yes, proponents of gay marriage make the same sort of argument. Personally, I have less of a problem redefining marriage then redefining science, though I'd prefer that neither of them redefined just to make people who are not wholly comfortable in their lifestyles or religious faith feel better about themselves.

"I wish Matrix Theory was indeed taught in class, for no other movie more clearly reveals the true intentions of materialists"

Whatever. If most people didn't notice the metaphors then what does it matter? What I am really interested in knowing is whether or not you are willing to have "The Matrix" theory taught side by side with ID as an alternative theory to evolution? Why should ID be promoted and not "The Matrix?"

"Why should ID be promoted and not "The Matrix?"

A better question is this: why should the idea of design not be discussed at all?

From the perspective of someone who was worked a great deal w/ computers, understands how to write code, knows what a user interface is, knows what a compiler does ...

All I know is the basic argument boils down to this: I am sold the idea that DNA randomly organized itself to eventually create this functioning human known as GoBucks.

But the evidence for this, the experiments which show the basic inevitable steps for DNA and RNA to organzie themselves, reproducible experiments in the lab, are missing.

There is no evidence - create life in the lab, why, bang, you have got some evidence; from From E. Darwin to today, no such thing as happened. Just like there is no 'evidence' for a designer. There is just aftermath forensics and rhetoric.

It would be different if the evo proponents were evenly mixed with regards to their faith spectrums. But no: I've met too many of these people, and they are monolithically matriarchalists. Thus, there are motives to avoid looking at 'design'.

This evo/ID fight is a religious fight in disguise. Period.
And to fail to teach kids the true nature of the fight is akin to saying that kids going to Madrassas are being treated as fairly .... because it is part of their culture.

It is a leftist argument, protecting a leftist culture, promoting a leftist agenda. It is bs.

And the fact you ignored what I said about scientists kowtowing to lawyers you totally ignored. You must be a lawyer, with too little time for golf.
