There isn't anything political about this at all. Is there?
I think his point is that scientists are most likely to be concerned about the risk to science education much like businessmen would be most like to be concerned about a risk to the banking system
Right. One of those leftest professors got up today and said it would be a terrific idea to teach the school children that God the Intelligent Designer may be dead. I think his name was Behe. Anyway, he is one of those that believe in evolution.
How could scientists be wrong. After all, they've convinced all us non-scientists that, contrary to logic, oil is the leftover residue of hundreds of billions of dinosaurs who all conveniently died in just a few locations on earth, one on top of the next, so we could easily siphon off their remains in lots of 100+ million barrels per graveyard....
Second post and already the ID gauntlet has been thrown down. You folks must stay up late at night worried to death that some lurker might come to the conclusion that science is science, faith is faith, and never the twain shall meet.
From the article:"If my neighbors and their children wish to believe in Intelligent Design as a matter of faith that is fine with me. What I object to most strenuously is the presentation of a religious belief as a scientific theory in a science class."
Well, sad to say the Left has used this issue to paint all conservatives as adherents to a superstitious-founded destruction of science. Check out this for what I mean.
