EXPELLED! NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED.
WingClips ^

Posted on 05/03/2008 4:48:48 PM PDT by LJayne

There is a movement on the horizon that has the potential to change the educational system in America and influence your kids, you and the youth you serve. For decades now, Neo-Darwinism has maintained a stranglehold within public education, suppressing all other theories on the origins of life—especially those that hint of a "designer".

“And wheelchair designs have evolved.”

On their own? That’s like saying if I put all the individual parts of a watch in a box and shake it for several million years it will assemble itself .....

The article starts out with a lie and a mistake in the second sentence. Looks like another creationist hit piece, swinging wildly at science in general and the evolutionary sciences in particular.

Nothing to see. Move along.

Perhaps, the move would have been better if Stein had not lied about Sternberg being fired from the Smithsonian.

Um. "Mov[i]e"? I just searched for this on Dogpile and it seems "fired" might not be applicable -- did Stein actually say "fired" in the film?

And the movie would have been whole lot better if Ben Stein was not a donor to the Al Frankin for U.S. Senate Campaign.

How would the film itself, its content and goals, be improved if Ben Stein were a contributor to, say, the McCain or Thompson campaign? Or if he had given money to any of Reagan's campaigns?

Perhaps an honest mistake. Something so easily disproved could be that Stein or a researcher for Stein didn’t check the fact.The Smithsonian wanted to fire Sternberg though.

The liberals are blind, so to them there's nothing to see. Darwinism has yet to show ANY evidence of species jumping which is required for this crackpot theory.

Intelligent Design has literally a world of evidence that has not (and cannot) be refuted. The blind libs "have eyes to see but do not perceive".

Would you please summarize what that document was saying? I need a smarter mind than mine to understand it.

“Geez. Does one have to put a smiley or / sarc tag on every such statement on FR today?”

So you expect to post something like that on an evo thread and expect it to be taken seriously.

By the way, thanks for the grammar correction. here I thought this was an informal mode of communication.

It seems that someone, like 300 million other Americans, hasn’t gone to the movie.

The liberals are blind, so to them there's nothing to see.

So it is required that one believe in intelligent design to be a conservative? What a joke!

Darwinism has yet to show ANY evidence of species jumping which is required for this crackpot theory.

When you learn some science then feel free to lecture us. In the mean time you are spouting religious dogma, not science. (I spent six years in grad school, half of which was dedicated to the study of evolution, fossil man, osteology and related subjects, so I'm a little harder to fool than the average freeper.)

Intelligent Design has literally a world of evidence that has not (and cannot) be refuted. The blind libs "have eyes to see but do not perceive".

It can't be refuted because it is religious belief, not science. It does not rely on evidence, so it can't be refuted by evidence.

Seems that Stein and Frankin have been friends for a long time.
I’ll just bet that stein is smart enough to know that Frankin would never get elected. Stein sounds like a man who will support his friends regardless. Franken said the donation meant a lot to him.

Nobody here has a good friend who is Democrat?
