Arrogance and pomposity turn people off.
Politicization of science turns people off.
No one likes the zealot atheist evolutionites because they are obnoxious and overbearing and now teaming up with the ACLU.
They claim to be pro-science but aren't and are really pushing their own liberal agenda vis-a-vis the culture war.
They have and are harming science including, irony of ironies, good evolutionary biological studies with their agenda driven overbearing attacks on anyone who doesn't share their close minded views.

69% want Intelligent Design taugtht!!!! Good for them. One in five Americans believe that the lottery is the most practical way of attaining personal wealth.
Should their views be considered when teaching economics?

"88 percent of Americans 18-29 years old "
The Roe Effect in action. Why not discuss competing ideas?
Oh wait, liberals only like to discuss competing ideas when discuss whether to smoke from a pipe or a bong.

Others who strongly support teaching the strengths and weaknesses of evolutionary theory So do I. The strengths and weaknesses of any scientific theory should be discussed. However, that doesn't mean putting pseudo-scientific beliefs into the curriculum to cover for any weaknesses of current scientific theory.
I'd like to know how the survey was worded.
To: Potowmack
Now that 69% America has voiced their opinion on the Creation/Evolution Debate we can move on the letting polls decide what taught in Engineering and Medical schools.

A new survey on religious beliefs found half of all American adults believe in ghosts, almost a third believe in astrology and more than a quarter believe in reincarnation.

Example of one question: "When Darwins theory of evolution is taught in school, students should also be able to learn about scientific evidence that points to an intelligent design of life.
Since there is none, the question doesn't make any sense, does it?

Now that 69% America has voiced their opinion on the Creation/Evolution Debate we can move on the letting polls decide what taught in Engineering and Medical schools. I never really "got" more advanced mathematics in high school. Do you think I can get enough people to vote to make math easier. Maybe get rid of some of the big numbers?

"If the human mind is made the measure of all things, it will despise and reject anything it does not understand--including things which are beyond human understanding." [Navarre Bible Commentary 'Acts of the Apostles'] Make that 'their understanding' and it's the best explanation for the mindset of Evolutionists who restrict themselves to life and not existence.

Biology teachers should teach Darwin's theory of evolution, but also the scientific evidence against it - 69%
Biology teachers should teach Darwin's theory of evolution and the scientific evidence that supports it - 21%
Doesn't mention ID and actually wouldn't include it since it isn't science based and wouldn't therefore fall into the "evidence" category.

So you believe in things you can't understand?
How do you know what they are?

I think they meant that 1 of 5 Americans think the lottery is the EASIEST way of attaining wealth, which it probably is, aside from inheriting it, which wont even cost you a dollar to buy the lottery ticket.
If most of the people support I.D. being taught in classrooms, then it should be taught, because it is the PEOPLE who's taxes keep the schools functioning.
