HARRISBURG, Pa. - The American Civil Liberties Union plans to file a federal lawsuit Tuesday against a Pennsylvania school district that is requiring students to learn about alternatives to the theory of evolution...

Isn't it a "civil liberty" to learn about other theories?

It seems that anybody who now is going to make attempts to defend schools' right, and even obligation, to mention "intelligent design" theory as part of the science of life only has to refer to this man, now. As I recall, he states that the "origin of life" question is not necessarily related or opposed to the statement of whether evolution is or is not a correct scientific theory. It seems to me it would only be necessary to point out that statement to the court for a clear win, as it has nothing to do with religious position - simply is a question of root cause.

Maybe there would be a scientific way around the ACLU and only teaching intelligent design on this one. If schools
were to include in their teaching of intelligent design also the subject of cloning. After all, the Bible did say that God created Adam in his own image. And what is cloning but creating another in one's own image?
I know cloning is a touchy subject for most Christians, if not all, but it might just be the way around the ACLU.
The ACLU would have to fight "theory" of evaluation against a science fact. And in that case I think the ACLU would lose.
Any way just a thought.
Sorry, I didn't get that worded right did I? What I meant to say was: Maybe there would be a scientific way around the ACLU and only teaching theory of evolution and not including intelligent design on this one.
No. I just think the rampant anti-Christian attitude in this country is the sign of the left losing its marbles. They seem to believe that the religious right is intolerant, therefore THEY are being tolerant by being intolerant to the right. It's this looney logic that seems to be driving them, but an impartial observer can call it what it is--hatred for religion. The ACLU crew is so rabid in its attempts to stomp on free expression (they seem to forget that it's not "free expression except anything to do with religion") that they're getting more obviously deranged with every one of these dopey attacks. Seeing how fond they are of racists having their civil rights to speak out, I find them a clueless bunch, unaware of their own biases.

Now we pay obeisance to their ridiculous lawsuits and pretend they have something to add to our national debate.
They are nothing but d@mned termites and deserve the same fate!
that is some good information, thanks
