Riiiiight. I'll see the strawmen which evolutionists like to build. If creationism is so easy to debunk, then why are you afraid of this LA school law?

Because it is based on the lie that intelligent design is science. It is designed to destroy the theory of evolution and replace it with fundamentalism.

Answer - deep down inside your beady little pea-brain, you know that evolution is nonsense, and you're afraid to have the underpinning for your entire chosen philosophical system knocked out from under you like so many nine-pens.

Sorry, that's nonsense. The theory of evolution just keeps getting stronger as more fossils are found and the genetic evidence mounts up.

And the poor creationists get hammered every time they change the face of creationism to try to sneak back into the schools. Creation "science" went belly up, and more recently it was intelligent design. Now they are trying this "critical analysis" line, but what will happen is predictable: some fundamentalist teacher will go whole hog teaching religion and the courts will bounce that too.

Perhaps they should leave religion for the churches and science for the schools, eh?

What does ‘fundamentalist’ mean to you?

By all means, let’s have a one sided TOE (Science) indoctrination in our tax-payer funded public schools.

Wrong again. The assumption that genetics, in and of itself, proves evolution is nothing more than circular thinking. Perhaps we should just leave science to itself, instead of infusing anybody's theology into it, whether theist or evolutionist?

Keep your theologies off my biologies!

(BTW, if that shows up on bumper stickers a month from now, I'm going to come looking for my cut).

Absolutely, no teaching of atheism or secular humanist worldviews should be allowed in schools.

Leave that for your... what, reading rooms? Circlejerks? Whatever you call your gatherings.

Whoever said that schools were the sole domain of science? Or that only science can be taught in schools? What are they, science churches supported by the coerced monies of unwilling taxpayers?

If churches pulled something like that, the hue and cry would be unreal. But schools can be commandeered by those who claim to be scientists to have a monopoly on teaching their own worldview and it's supported by the atheist, evo, ACLU crowd and if anyone else objects they're just a bunch of religious zealots.

How hypocritical.
