>>Why don’t they simply accept that someone can look at the fossil record and come to a different conclusion about it?<<
That is fine. You can believe in ID or even Biblical 6 days all you want. What you can’t do is try to say that is anything other than theology.
By suggesting children should be taught, and science accept that ID or any creation story is a scientific “alternate theory” is completely and factually wrong by any and every definition of the word.
As far as discussions about the “what we can’t see behind what we can” — I think that is a great and rather enjoyable discussion with many interesting avenues of pursuit.
You should know that by now, MM.
The majority of parents want creation and ID taught alongside the ToE in science classes in public schools.
If that’s what they want, that’s what they should get.
The self-appointed elite determining what is best for everyone and inflicting it on everyone against their will, all for their own good of course, is liberalism at its finest.
Evos aren’t labeled liberals because of their belief in the ToE but because of their continued support of big government strong arm tactics like that.
Don’t like the label, don’t support big government control under any guise. Doing it in the name of science is no better excuse than doing it in the name of anything else.
Calling it science doesn’t excuse it.
