Debate evolves over biology lessons

The Ohio School Board is considering teaching high school science students that some scientists believe parts of biological life are "designed"

If only agencies responsible for curricula had a "junk science" policy where any content could be challenged in some orderly fashion, with drafters of curricula required to show the material in question was represented by substantial published research in the relevant professional literature. This would get rid of loads of crap, "creation science" and "intelligent design" very much secondarily to blatantly political and propagandistic environmentalism.

My problem with conservatives angling for inclusion of creationism in public school science curricula is their damnable and damaging inconsistency. With respect to other subjects they tend to stand for hard-nosed curricula shorn of elements included solely to shore up the self-esteem, or coddle the prejudices, of some minority. When it comes to science, however, they play the same games the libs do, launch into the same whines about inclusiveness and diversity, and adopt the same bar-lowering intellectual relativism.

Junk science--religion and the 1st thing to go would be evolution theory of the brainwashed. The founding fathers knew only a weak--phoney religion would need to be state established--tax funded and now it is a govt monopoly forbidding all others...strange turn of events wouldn't you say?

Not really---predictable too...not able to compete exist fairly...who would voluntarily fund a sick--cold--pathetic moron--moronic atheistic babblings--speculations all hyped up as science! All the educational steroids takes out the horemone--humanities...all you get left is bunch of squeaky nerds-nuts--fruitcakes!

... Realatarians are here--COMING!

The foregoing was just a tiny sample. So that everyone will have access to the accumulated "Creationism vs. Evolution" threads which have previously appeared on FreeRepublic, plus links to hundreds of sites with a vast amount of information on this topic, here's Junior's massive work, available for all to review: The Ultimate Creation vs. Evolution Resource [ver 15].
