I have no information about the drive-by midia on this subject. As for myself, I am in favor of teaching intelligent design as a theory as well as teaching evolution as a theory. In addition they need to teach that theories in science are never proven. (Do I really need to go into the deference between deductive and inductive reasoning, the assumption of first principles that all arguments are based, and the role of experimental data?) Good scientists know this, but people on the school boards usually do not.
“Good scientists know this, but people on the school boards usually do not.”
I guess this is why in the Dover case the judge, who was a Bush appointee, determined that the school board was not only ignorant of science, that intelligent design was back door religion, and that several school board members also committed perjury. Also, can you tell me what experiments have been designed and conducted to prove intelligent design might be a fact?
