Fox News alert a few minutes ago says the Dover School Board lost their bid to have Intelligent Design introduced into high school biology classes. The federal judge ruled that their case was based on the premise that Darwin's Theory of Evolution was incompatible with religion, and that this premise is false.
"I thought evoltion theory went all the way from the origin of the universe until today."
You did? Despite all the information to the contrary, as posted in ever thread here having anything to do with evolution?
Sorry. Use Google.
Yes, and if they use the same "logic" as creationists, they're probably already printout out literature citing this as proof.
"Neither does evolution when they try to teach it as fact, when it's merely an unproven theory."
1) ALL theories in science are unproven.
2) Evolution IS a fact(common descent); the Theory of Evolution is a description of how evolution happened.
Are you trying to bring science down to the level of religion? Or trying to bring religion up to the level of science?
so therefore we should keep it from being taught in public schools?
That is correct. Teach it in church where such teaching belongs. Don't try to force your religious beliefs on my children using the schools as you venue.
Evolution is a religion...
To believe that garbage as FACT takes a whole new level of idiocy...
Ah, once again when a creationist wants to insult evolution he calls it a "religion."
I never get tired of that....
"Again, this is not an attack. I'm just asking a simple question from a scientific method standpoint. "
Use Google. Read a book on evolutionary theory. Use your mind. Don't ask for scientific treatises here on Free Republic. Go learn.
Another case of judicial activism.
Your post is clearly written, but surely you understand that no public school teacher will be permitted to recommend that students speak to their parents about matters of "faith and morals".
Back to DU with you!
Your opinion of the current state of the education system isn't sufficient justification for assuming religion should be taught in those schools.
Give me a freakin' break.
Well judge I agree -this is a false premise; however, the case was brought forward based upon reality and should be judged upon by reality -rejecting the false premise does nothing to allow the true premise to be heard each and every time evolution is taught religiously rather than scientifically.
Next time, please just give us the Reader's Digest version of your comments; I don't have time to read lengthly essays like that.

If you're permanently stuck on stupid, but determined to post anyway, use the Evolution Troll's Toolkit.
Intelligent design doesn't belong in science classes.
Neither does evolution when they try to teach it as fact, when it's merely an unproven theory.

All. Of. Science. Is. Unproven.
Science doesnt deal in proofs. Mathematics does. EVERY SINGLE theory in science is tentative.
