Government brainwashing at work.

You see, as long as we brainwash kids into thinking they came from animals, then they will act like animals.

And, everybody knows, animals obey the nearest master.

Time to abolish public/gubmnt thought control institutions.

Ahhh, the community school board. One of the last havens of left-wingers and secularists.

I don't see how that follows.

Darned right. The government needs to keep its hand off the schools. Separation of School and State: it's a good idea.

[airforceF4]

Baloney. ID is not a theory, it's a belief.
And, BTW, although I have no training in Physics, I wonder about that 11th dimension business connected to string theory. Let's put that up for a vote, too. Let's make sure that all of science goes up for a popular vote [sarcasm is intended], regardless of where that take us in the future. and we wonder why we're beaten by students overseas.....

[JamesP81]

Uh-oh. PH has been pinged. Civility is out the door. I wonder how many posts before someone compares Christians to the Taliban or Iranian Mullahs?

[TOWER]

Why is it that only evolution suffers from "bottom up" protests. Normally debates about a scienctific theory take place amoung experts in the topic. Then it filters down to the research level, then the college level, then the high school level, and so forth. Why are IDers insisting that for evolution this process work the other way around? Is it because IDers can't debate real experts, so they just go straight to the kids? That's very cowardly.

[dhuffman@awod.com]

NO. Neither 'the chilldruun' nor many FReepers are capable of critically evaluating evolution/creation. One requires a particular statement of faith and the other an incompatible and contrary statement of faith. It's like (analogous to) a photon as wave and particle, it is both/neither but which depends on the experimental observation. Or the holy triune. My tagline applies as well to FReepers as progressives.

Democracy is the rule of fools by fools. American suffers from cacocracy.

[Always Learning]

I've just got to ask. Without knowing the source (it had absolutely nothing to do with evolution or ID tho'), do you agree or disagree with the following finding:

"The Task Force finds that the most reliable information is produced by recognized, respected professional organizations which adhere to a strict standard of objective, peer-reviewed scientific study and which represent the consensus of the scientific community."

[M203M4]

Again highlighting that private schools/homeschooling would solve this problem entirely. Let the people who don't want to learn science learn babble instead (flat earth, 5000 year old earth, fossils are tools of satan, quantum mechanics is secular-speak for Jesus, etc). That way, they only destroy their own education. They want to stay pre-enlightenment, great for them. They'll have company in a few sandy countries.

Government brainwashing at work.

You see, as long as we brainwash kids into thinking they came from animals, then they will act like animals.

Or we can reject secular science, teach our kids God is in charge and go back to living in the Middle Ages, or like the Taliban.

Thanks, but I'll keep my indoor plumbing, modern medicine and computer.

Isn't all science "critical thinking" anyway? Seems redundant to call for it in the curriculum

[DoctorMichael]

(School) Board votes down evolution analysis

Thank God!

[nmh]

You're absolutely right!

We also know the left is totally godless. Now, I wonder, who are they following ... .

Let me help you out from the mouth of an egotistical, er idiot:

The Problem with God: Interview with Richard Dawkins

Here are a few choice excerpts:

Question:
What are your thoughts about the despair some people feel when they ponder natural selection and random mutation? The idea of evolution and natural selection makes some people feel that everything is meaningless--people’s individual lives and life in general.

Answer from the evolutionist high priest, Dawkins:

If it’s true that it causes people to feel despair, that’s tough. It’s still the truth. The universe doesn’t owe us condolence or consolation; it doesn’t owe us a nice warm feeling inside. If it’s true, it’s true, and you'd better live with it.

Question:
You criticize intelligent design, saying that "the theistic answer"--pointing to God as designer--"is deeply unsatisfying"--presumably you mean on a logical, scientific level.

Answer by the renowned Dawkins:

Yes, because it doesn’t explain where the designer comes from. If they’re going to emphasize the statistical improbability of biological organs—"these are so complicated, how could they have evolved?"--well, if they’re so complicated, how could they possibly have been designed? Because the designer would have to be even more complicated.

My comment - Imagine that! Just to think for a second that there could be SOMEONE more intelligent that Dawkins and more complicated than Dawkins is just, well UNTHINKABLE! He truly wants to believe HE, Dawkins knows it ALL better! LOL!! The arrogance and HUGE ego here is surreal. Boy is he in for a suprise when he meets his Maker! Then it'll be too late.

Question:
Is atheism the logical extension of believing in evolution?

Answer by the cold hearted and arrogant ATHEIST, Dawkins:

They clearly can’t be irrevocably linked because a very large number of theologians believe in evolution. In fact, any respectable theologian of the Catholic or Anglican or any other sensible church believes in evolution. Similarly, a very large number of evolutionary scientists are also religious. My personal feeling is that understanding evolution led me to atheism.

My comment: It's common sense. When you remove God and what the Bible teaches you slowly if no immediately stop believing in God. The order of evolution all wrong. There is NO evidence to support it and of course when you keep telling a lie often enough there will always be dumbed down idiots willing to believe it. It is NO coincidence that evolution leads one to ATHEISM. Dawkins is NO exception to that fact.

Elsewhere he suggests that God is some imaginary friend and that adoptions are the result of "genetic mistakes". Guess Moses failed to realize he was a "genetic mistake".

The entire philosophy of evolution is atheism. Evolution is the religion of atheism. The left wants to encourage atheism and through what better vehicle in academia than through, godless, mindless, nonsensical evolution that has absolutely NO EVIDENCE to support it. It's a deck of cards built on lies supplied by leading atheists.

You see, as long as we brainwash kids into thinking they came from animals, then they will act like animals.

Let's see if your logic holds up:

"You see, as long as we brainwash white southern kids into thinking they came from slaveholders, then they will act like slaveholders."

"You see, as long as we brainwash black kids into thinking they came from slaves, then they will act like slaves."

LouAvul, vpintheak, Dr. Spots, could any of you please tell me whether or not there's any evidence that those last 2 statements have held true in our history?

Do you see why that argument is so breathtakingly inane?

[pleikumud]

Those who have food fights over Creationism, ID and evolution are missing a big point, which is: How little anyone really knows. We are smaller than a speck of dust in the universe, and profoundly ignorant.

It seems the public schools are designed to limit the imagination.
