Ah, the creationist spin has begun....
That's the neat thing about REAL science. It works whether you believe in God or not.
U.S. District Judge John Jones who is he
Would that be the creationist creation?
Oh, man. Thanks. That was good for a laugh.
Another no-name judge deciding what our schools should teach and what science should say. What happened to schools being accountable to the taxpayers?
"U.S. District Judge John Jones who is he"
The "activistjudge!activistjudge!" was appointed to the bench by George W. Bush.
I think it's great when kids decide for themselves that ID is real science and evolution is an anti-religious conspiracy. After all, the world needs ditch diggers too and I like my fries nice and hot.
The schools were definitely accountable to the taxpayers, who threw out the board that brought the suit in the last election.
Censors science? Since when has metaphysics been part of science. Is the state required to accomodate voodoo too?
Exactly in his judgement Jones points out who the real activists are and rightly so. The whole bunch also got voted out, so are the voters activists also (spin spin spin away)
The taxpayers voted the school board members out. Is PA a red or blue state? I can't remember.
Taxpayers can have a say in what gets taught at their schools but they don't get to have a say on what is science and what isn't. In science, facts are determined by evidence and experimentation, not by popular vote.
If the school wants to teach about ID or creationism that's okay but find some other class to do it in besides science classes. Cause it ain't science. Period.
To which taxpayers? Islamists have more kids than Anglos. In 50 years do you want a majority Muslim sets of parents ruling the holocaust was a hoax and that there is but one God and that is Allah.
Dover is in a very red area of an (ultimately) blue state. Here's the map:

Good talking points, but many scientists do think ID is science. It's funny how the Darwin Fundies in the trial never addressed the science that the ID supporters presented.
Thanks.
Lots and lots of people are successful and probably make more money than you do, who do not understand evolutionary theory. Your post is humorous, but not very accurate.
The bottom line is judges should not be deciding what is taught in schools (and I would think this would be the conservative viewpoint). The local taxpayers should decide.
