Being heard is not the issue at all. The issue is "venue". That each subject is taught in an appropriate time and place. A private church is the proper place for teaching ID, not a public school. A public school is the proper place for teaching scientific theory, not religious propaganda. The ID fanatics have strapped on their suicide belts of religious propaganda and want to set themselves off in the public schools. It will not lead to more "Christians" as they hope, but too more atheists and worse, the Koran being taught in American public schools. Be careful what you wish for.
Well, not quite. If they wanna talk about "intelligent design" in a class on "comparative philsophy" or "comparative religion" in public schools, I've got no problem with that being done---but NOT in biology class.
I love your idea of "scientific theory" verses "religious propaganda." When you call theory fact or give it the same credibility as fact then anything goes. I could say im teaching religious theory not religious propaganda. I prefer to tell you and all the other morons who spout the party line on evolution that you cannot prove anything. YOu are a state monoply on an avenue of propaganda.
You are no different than the powerful catholic church was in the middle ages. Always wrong, but never able to admit it even when it flew in the face of the reality at hand. YOu make something so because you say it is so. At least myself and the other creationists have the gonads to tell the rest of the world that what we believe is what we believe, not what is the fact. You don't have the courage to admit that what you are doing is teaching theory as if it is concrete fact.
Too bad you squander your honesty away on useless and senseless arguments about how is doesn't mean is. YOu are a fraud and you know it. That is why you purjure the arguments that are opposite of what you come up with.
