Darwinism Critic Applauds California School District's New Science Policy

Agape Press ^ | March 31, 2006 | Jim Brown

[editor-surveyor]

The best approach is to do a very good job of teaching mathematics. Few mathematicians accept evolution (although many pretenders that 'teach' math are evolution true believers).

This is why the space program is almost totally creationists.

[editor-surveyor]

"Why do people think others want to know what they are reading now?"

It's a liberal thing. It keeps their brains from filling up with too much reality.

[JoeFromSidney]

as I ahve said on numerous occasions, has absolutely no ontrolling authority over any other case.

I hope you're right, because I view the Dover decision as a pyrrhic victory for science. Now we have a judge telling us what is and isn't science. As a scientist, I'm concerned that this is the first step toward something like Lysenkoism, or the suppression of "Jewish science" in Nazi Germany. The last thing scientists should want is the government telling us what constitutes true science.

[Dimensio]

Questioning existing theories and attempting to falsify them IS solid science.

The problem, however, is that the high school level is not the appropriate place for such attempts. Moreover, applying such a standard in a high school cirriculum only to evolution and not to any other scientific explanation can create the false impression that evolution is "less certain" than the rest of science. You will find that this act of deception is often the fundamental goal of those who advocate such standards.

[Dimensio]

This is why the space program is almost totally creationists.

Are you able to support this claim with evidence?

[Coyoteman]

The last thing scientists should want is the government telling us what constitutes true science.

Perhaps the last thing we want is a secondary school board telling us that one particular religious view constitutes true science?

There is a good quote in a recent Science News, vol. 168 (Nos 26 & 27), p. 414:

What is intelligent design?

It's the missing link between creationism and religious instruction masquerading as biology.

Bruce Bower

[King Prout]

yes, one would expect greater diversity now rather than earlier.

with the following caveats and exceptions...

1. many branches dead-end and die out
2. mass extinctions cause a series of narrowings in biodiversity, each mass extinction is followed by a re-expansion of biodiversity

[Senator Bedfellow]

This is why the space program is almost totally creationists.

Are you able to support this claim with evidence?

It's straight from the source, which is some guy on the internet. What could be more credible than that?

[JoeFromSidney]

Perhaps the last thing we want is a secondary school board telling us that one particular religious view constitutes true science?

The school board was voted out. The ballot box worked.
