When neither is on your side, change the subject and question the motives of the opposition. That seems to be the strategy of many Darwinists

Is the author a lurker or is that just the way it is with darwinists everywhere?

This is not news. This is not "Technical".

This is a press release from the Creationist "Discovery Institute".

Just another battle between those in favor of eternal certainty and those interested in provisional theory.

Excellent column!

BUT, it is extremely doubtful to me that the public school authorities would ever permit extensive 'critical thionking' in the schools.

Not in science, not in history, and certainly not in civics.

After all, too much critical thinking would interfere with the conditioning program currently in place.

Then you should have posted the link to the Chronicle instead of the poorly named source.

Still not news.

Still not "Technical"

This is not news.

Houston Chronicle Article

This is not "Technical".

Your opinion… It’s a debate over factual information in textbooks.

This is a press release from the Creationist "Discovery Institute".

CYNICAL old lawyers have a maxim: When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue the law. When neither is on your side, change the subject and question the motives of the opposition.
(from the above article)

Of course, there is zero scientific evidence for either intelligent design or the existence of said designer... only faith.
