This is very clever. The proposal takes some very new science topics about which there really is a lot of controversy (global warming, stem-cell research and cloning) and which have been horribly politicized, and throws evolution into the pot with them. On the bright side, this is sure to reveal that the dems have their own problems with anti-science kooks.

Evolution Ping The List-O-Links

A conservative, pro-evolution science list, now with over 380 names. See the list's explanation, then FReepmail to be added or dropped. To assist beginners: But it's "just a theory", Evo-Troll's Toolkit, and How to argue against a scientific theory.

Notice too how evolution is getting lumped with things that I doubt were even in their curriculum. Was stem-cell research and cloning a part of the curriculum to begin with?

This is transparent... though it may work.

[DoctorMichael]

Aw hell! Why not go-for-broke and throw other controversial topics in their like Gravity. [LOL]

[SampleMan]

Be careful not to throw out the baby with the bath water. A much better education on scientific method would be a good thing in every way.

This is really begining to make me sick. I'm trying to be calm. The enemy within has been doing this with American History since I started school in the fifties. Now These COMMUNISTS want to do it with science too. The problem that I'm so upset with is that the COMMUNIST are constantly slanting what they want people to learn not hat the truth really is. I've learned more since I have been out of school about American History than I ever learned in school. Teach what science is then let people look into all the slants that are out there. Some factions are good and some are bad. Parents need to start watching what their children are being taught that they are being made to pay for.

[From many - one.]

Apples versus mashed potatoes.

No one is claiming that stem cells don't exist or that cloning can't happen. The arguments about both are ethical and moral.

Global warming is more that one question
1. Is it happening? ... a scientific question, simply an evaluation of the data (my take is proabably, my geo prof back in the 50's predicted it)

2. What are the causes? ...another scientific question, actively under study

3. Should we care, and if so, how? ...a political and ethical question.


And, of course, evolution is established science.

GOP governor nominee Mr. Kenneth Blackwell has associated himself with the Intelligent Design Cause, as well as with other causes on the social conservative wing of the party. If he is elected governor, he will surely appoint a creationist school board. It will be a difficult decision for science minded conservatives in Ohio whether to vote for this candidate. He is behind in the opinion polls already.

I hope the Ohio GOP's nomination of a Christian fundamentalist does not mean electoral death for our party in that state.

Grady said she views her proposal as a compromise to ensure that differing views are considered when teaching such hot-button issues.

Grady has zeroed in on the problem that Darwinists have never had the spine or integrity to openly acknowledge in their hysterical jihads to protect the one true "science." It is simply this: Darwinism, like global warming, is ultimately a device specifically designed and driven to advance leftist ideology and theology (atheism). The science-based aspects of Darwinism are a mere stalking horse. It is the theology that really matters.

The public schools have been converted into seminaries to refine and inculcate the atheist liberal faith into the minds and habits of the most impressionable.

[King Prout]

Talk of revisiting the issue has raised concern among scientists who have long fought efforts that they say undermine Darwin’s theory of evolution.

funny... I don't recall any scientist saying that creationists' efforts undermine the theory.

Instead, they correctly note that those efforts undermine the scientific literacy of the populace.

newsies... can't they ever get the facts straight?
