and so because of that we silence one side of the debate?
No one's "silencing one side of the debate". They're just as belligerently vocal as ever.
That's a tactic used by our dimocratic cousins. Not Free thinking men and women.
Which is why we don't do that.
The Truth is always the truth and if you deny it speech then you become part of the problem, not the solution.
I agree.
Hint: The court rulings preventing violations of the First Amendment are not "silencing" anyone, you're still just as free to mouth off as before. All those were about was keeping religious indoctrination out of public schools.
The only one being belligerent are the one's calling names like 5 year olds on a playground.
You have tried to silence debate each and everytime the topic comes up, so don't sit there and lie and say your side doesn't. They do, ALL of the time. The case in the Federal Court proves that.
If you are so convinced of your intellectual superiority, then let ID be taught in school as an alternative to evolution. As a theory (which is what evolution is by the way, it's not fact).
Until then you are being disingenuous to sit there and say your side does not try to stifle the other side in the debate.
