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

Famous Atheist Now Believes in God

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.

You can join the fight against the ACLU and their ilk by becoming involved with and supporting the following organizations:

Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) - http://www.alliancedefensefund.org

Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) - http://www.thomasmore.org

American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) - http://www.aclj.org

The Rutherford Institute - http://www.rutherford.org/

Stop the ACLU Coalition - http://www.stoptheaclu.org


Here are a few examples of how two of those organizations are fighting back:

ADF Contacts Over 3,600 School Districts Over Attempts To Censor Christmas

ADF: 700 lawyers ready to fight ACLU lawsuits

ADF: Pentagons' Warning About Boyscouts Is Absurd

Thomas More Law Center: Town of Palm Beach Pays $50,000 In Attorney Fees Apologizes To Women In Nativity Lawsuit


Additional information:

The ACLU must be destroyed: Joseph Farah supports Boy Scouts, urges Americans to fight back

Citizens mobilized to stop ACLU (seeks to consign group to 'ash heap of history')

ACLU fulfilling communist agenda

Revealing FACTS on the ACLU from its own writings

See how YOUR Senator or Representative ranks with the ACLU


Let me know if you would like to join my ACLU ping list

If the ACLU were around at the founding of this nation, they would have been tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail.

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!
