On the other hand, Darwinists have no problem whatsoever putting the notions of their religion..i.e Naturalism, into the heads of other people's children.

I swear, this goofy misconception comes up so often that I'm going to have to make this into a hotkey:

This is horse manure, son. The *majority* of American "Darwinists" are Christians. The primary "pro-Darwin/anti-ID" expert witness in the Dover trial is a Christian (biologist Kenneth R. Miller), who has written a book about reconciling evolution and God. What does that do to your silly conspiracy theory?

"What does that do to your silly conspiracy theory?"

First, you are a very uncivil and hostile debater. How about calming down a bit? That valium in your medicine cabinet may help.

Second, I never proposed that there is any conpiracy. That is in your paranoid mind. Although Darwinism can mean simply evolution, I have always considered it in this debate to also mean first causes..too. So when I say Darwinism I include spontaneous formation of life from the infamous building blocks through chance.

I, like Kenneth Miller believe that evolution can be reconciled with God, but creation of life by chance cannot. I am not an opponent of evolutionary theory, though I do ask that its flaws be at least mentioned in school.

And with respect to first causes, I also ask the ID also be mentioned in school when speculating on this matter.

So the majority of Darwinists are Christians. Well, I don't know how anyone would be able to state whether or not this is a fact, but even if it is, based on degree of anti-Christian sentiment, it looks as if some Darwinists are pretty far up the list.
