Dover Intelligent Design Decision Criticized as a Futile Attempt to Censor Science Education

A legal ruling can't change the fact that there is digital code in DNA,...

Would that be Da Vinci?

It's funny how the Darwin Fundies in the trial never addressed the science that the ID supporters presented.

Umm.. The ID supporters didn't present any science. In fact, their dissembling icon Michael Behe conceded that ID has nothing to teach yet.

[truthfinder9]

Well, superbrain, I did check. Spent years doing it. Stop embarassing yourself.

I do have a problem with judges deciding what should be taught in schools, how much money should be spent, etc.

A judge in Arizona - a little dictator named Raner C. Collins - actually decided on how much money is to be spent by schools and for whom and he actually ordered that school have to award graduation diplomas to students even though they flunked out.

[AntiGuv]

LOL!!

[brytlea]

I'm sorry, now I'm confused. Do you think the judge should have taken the case or not? It matters not what you and I think the school district should was their time and money teaching kids (unless you live in that district?). Schools teach alot of stuff I think is a waste of time and money.

So you admit that intelligent design isn't science

Without intelligent design science would be the most useless of all pursuits--water would boil at random temperatures, bernoulli's principle would work fitfully, the speed of the the earth's revolution would change randomly. It's always surprising to see scientists who would insist that their funding arrive on time, that their observations be independently confirmed, that their job performance be evaluated objectively insist on a randomly mutatiting cellular universe. "We can't have design at the core, boys!"

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Yes, it will. It'll work precisely as it should; find scientific evidence to back up religiously-based assertions and it'll get taught as science. Until then, it won't.

Or you could just go the route of evolutionists and ridicule others repeatedly.

"Why if you don't believe in evolution, you must be a mouth-breathing, myth-believing fundie. Hey, what are you laughing at?! It could happen! No, really!"

[Sols]

Haha, oh man. Where do you get this stuff?

Modern human beings are apes. You are an ape.

[mlc9852]

Religion encompasses so much that it seems impossible to teach a lot of subjects without touching on religion.

Many ID scientists have shown how ID is compatible with Genesis

It's also compatible with the Rig Veda and the Edda. The beauty of ID: one size fits all.

[brytlea]

And there's the problem with letting judges become involved.

Try studying science. I know it's hard being a victim of the public education system.

[onja]

They aren't the only scientists who believe in ID. Duh. We aren't saying that all scientists who believe ID is science believe in creationsim. But there are plenty of scientists who believe ID is science and believe in creationism.

If you ever decide to get help, you might find this link useful.

[dmz]

There was a lawsuit involved, IIRC. Taxpayers don't resolve lawsuits.

[brytlea]

I agree.

[truthfinder9]

The liberals have government grants to help victims like you. Give John Kerry a call.

[Oztrich Boy]

No it's not.

[mpop]

OH so any one that does not belive in evolution and belives in ID must be stupid and can not get a job above a fastfood slave? Well I for one do not belive in evolution, and I am a computer programmer (C++) at CMU.
