The two scariest words in the English language? Intelligent Design! That phrase tends to produce a nasty rash and night sweats among our elitist class.
Should some impressionable teenager ever hear those words from a public school teacher, we are led to believe, that student may embrace a secular heresy: that some intelligent force or energy, maybe even a god, rather than Darwinian blind chance, has been responsible for the gazillions of magnificently designed life forms that populate our privileged planet.
What a massive lie. Do you have no compunction against lying like that? It's against my religion to lie. I guess it's not the case for you.
I'm sorry your faith is so weak that you need science to prove the existence of God.

You don't have to announce it. Just go, then wash your hands, and come back when you're done.
Well, three lefts do.
It is the truth and you know it. Just look at his posts.
OTOH:
"Most of the [Dover] school board incumbents who had defended the policy [teaching ID] were ousted in the November election, replaced by candidates who pledged to eliminate it."
OTOH: that is the way the contoversy should be handled. It was the people affected that decided what path should be taken. Those that had the concern showed up and selected the path. However, the poll numbers have been fairly constant throughout the years and the concerned individuals may change in the next election as it did in Kansas.
"Do you think Creationism should be taught alongside evolution in public school biology classes?"
Yes
No
Unure
My guess is that "Yes" would get 65%+, with "No" and "Unsure" splitting the difference. I'd be surprised if "No" got even 25%.
Just point out where he disparages believers in
God.
I'll wait.
If you are all that interested, just do a search and check his posts. If you aren't that interested, then that would make two of us.
Usual failure by mlc9852 to back up her claims noted. If mlc isn't interested in her own claims then she shouldn't make them in the first place.
In this forum, the rule is, you make a claim, you back it up. I learned that the first week I joined. Why do you think you are excepted from the rules?
Does this happen often on these threads? Only newbies don't know to back up their claims here outside the crevo threads.
Refute any of it. One small fact.
I'll wait.
All the time. Creationists like mlc make claims that appear to be dishonest, and when called on it they smirkingly ask you to research their point for them. They often claim victory if you point out that it is their job to justify their claims. A poster in another thread has just claimed that "thousands of scientists reject evolution", and when called up to back up his claim he doesn't appear to feel any shame at being unable to justify it. Just like mlc. Utter shamelessness when caught fabricating or repeating the easily demonstrated falsehoods of others appears to be the hallmark of most creationists.
I gather that there is a middle-eastern religion that thinks ill of those who lie. Many of these people should consider joining it, but their behaviour would have to improve greatly.
You have really, really hurt my feelings now. You are just another mean atheist.
How so? All you have to do to avoid my contempt is avoid making statements that you can't back up when called on them. Simple stuff. It's called being an adult.
Have I ever, even once, claimed to be an adult? Anyway, blame it on my monkey ancestors.
