In the famous 1925 Scopes “monkey” trial, Clarence Darrow stated: “For God’s sake, let the children have their minds kept open – close no doors to their knowledge; shut no door from them. Make a distinction between theology and science. Let them have both. Let them be taught. Let them both live.” Have you ever met a 21st Century liberal who believes that both evolution and creation should be taught in schools? Or do they say “Let them have only one”?

Can you name the 1981 Arkansas case in which the ACLU (the ones who brought us the Scopes case) argued that teaching both evolution and creation is actually in violation of the First Amendment?

IMHO he slipped up here. The ACLU didn't argue that teaching creation in a theology class was against the first amendment. "Taught in schools" is much different than "taught in the same class". It seems ol Mike has been taken in by the ID promoters.

Oh geesh gosh golly, you are right, so right, oh State-Approved Science Man! There is no Science but Secular Science, and no prophet of Science but Darwin!

That's a pretty big jump you're making there. I can't believe how some people can read a totally benign paragraph, filter it through their passions over a single issue, and make the paragraph say something it does not. (This goes for both sides of crevo, abortion, immigration - any hot button issue).

It is good to have passion, but sometimes passion makes us irrational; we see boogymen in every written word and every event (see yesterday's plane crash).

This was a great article.

IMHO you slipped here ... because the ACLU would argue that teaching a theology class in public school is against the first amendment ... it's all part of the same endgame.

Dr. Adams believes in Biblical creation, and doesn't hesitate to say so.

Amazing, isn't it? A man with a PhD, well-regarded in his profession, and also a widely-read conservative columnist ... and he believes God created the heavens and the earth.

You are right. But too many people here see religion as science and want them taught side by side. Religion belongs in Theology classes, and science belongs in science classes.

There is no more evidence that life evolved here on the earth than there is for it to have been delivered or engineered by extraterrestrials.

How do evolutionists feel about teaching that life came from outer space? They already teach the Big Bang theory...
