I’m going to see the movie, but I’ve already experienced the tactics from the left first hand, with the Georgia ACLU sneaking a letter into the school board here over the summer that if they don’t remove the word “Christmas” from the school’s calendar, they’d be sued.
NO parental input, only the state knows best. OR the lawyers, or the atheists, etc.
It’s the exact same premise...there’s simply to be no debate...not on the hot air cult or bitter God and gun clinging Christians having a voice in science.
Poor tactics or not addressing all their tricks at once is but a distraction, IMO.
While I’m sure there are kooks who want evolution banned, and not the exchange of ideas of both theories, I think the numbers on the left that want ID banned, NOT based on ANYTHING remotely scientific but unfounded fears about proselytizing or some super-theocracy, is just too overwhelming!
I don’t want to beat a dead horse here, tpanther, but ID has not done anything to suggest that it’s science. It tries to poke holes in existing scientific thought, which is fair, and actually a very good thing.
But “criticism of evoltion” does not equate to “ID is correct.”
It’s not even an either/or question. Let’s suppose evolution is wrong. That doesn’t prove anything else. It doesn’t even suggest anything else. ID needs to provide evidence, instead of criticism, to even qualify as science.
I don’t mind if it’s taught in public schools, but it shouldn’t be a required class nor classified as science, because it’s not science. If we decide that the public schools can offer classes in islam, the Christian Bible, or whatever, that’s okay with me.
