'Intelligent Design' Wins In Kansas

(AP) Revisiting a topic that exposed Kansas to nationwide ridicule six years ago, the state Board of Education approved science standards for public schools Tuesday that cast doubt on the theory of evolution.

The board's 6-4 vote, expected for months, was a victory for intelligent design advocates who helped draft the standards. Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power.

Critics of the proposed language charged that it was an attempt to inject creationism into public schools in violation of the separation between church and state.

The board's vote is likely to heap fresh national criticism on Kansas and cause many scientists to see the state as backward. Current state standards treat evolution as well-established — a view also held by national science groups

I think you'll find Christianity slightly pre-dates the 19th century...

Heres a question for you, and I would like to have any evolutionists to explain to me. What would be the birthrate of mankind if we have existed as long as they say we have?

[WildTurkey]

Anyway, I threw her plans in the rubbish bin and gave my own lecture. God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th. He took a rib from Adam to make woman. Many of the kids had never heard this before. I'll prob. get fired.

Since you are new, I thought I would remind you to put the </sarcasm> after your post.

What an arrogant and fascist thought you and other evo-nazis put forth. They have expanded the curriculim, not reduced it, evolution stays in the textbooks and the schools. Yet you guys think thats a reversal of education? My god almighty its the twilight zone.

I think you can google the actual birth rates for last year. Close enough.

Sure they are. Read Job someday.

I've read a lot about ID. No pseudoscience at all, and every bit as logical or supported as that idiotic Dawinist crap.

I see. So the intelligent designer designed pandas (related to racoons) that eat bamboo and give birth to three ounce babies they often crush when they roll over? Designed democrats and West Nile virus and athlete's foot fungi?

[Michael_Michaelangelo]

How many times do you dense evo's have to be told that ID doesn't care who the designer is? Your little red-herring isn't fooling anybody, wile-e-coyote.

Everything is designed for a purpose.

Here are some good websites to get you started:

I might add that not one of the org's listed are funded by tax dollars, or supported by the ACLU.

... and so does the use of bloodletting and trepination in "medicine".

Ok do the math. with a worldwide birth rate of 2% with about 100 humans at 100,000 years ago.

I think this formula should help you.

Let the annual rate of interest be i (as a fraction, that is 100i percent), the amount of the principal be P, the number of years be n, the number of times per year that the interest is compounded be q, and the amount after n years be A. Then

A = P(1+[i/q])^nq.

Nothing of value rests on the toe. It's vile hooey. Telling people to be sceptical is a good thing...

What would be the birthrate of mankind if we have existed as long as they say we have?

Probably, quite high, as were infant mortality, and the juvenile death rate.

What exactly is it that finds your knickers in a twist over the prospect that God made the world and all in it?

[aft_lizard]

actuallly very very low.

Assumption is the mother of all ... foulups. You are assuming that births automatically lead to survival to childrearing age and that the rate is constant and that there have been no floods, fires, earthquakes, famine, ...

I was in the garage, sipping a suds, watching the CBS Evening News with Bob "Pinnochio" Scheiffer on my glorious "12 B/W" garage TV. Keep pushing God out of our lives, and look out...............the Great Oz has spoken

Are you as well-versed in evolution stories as you are in creation stories?
