The only ones being discredited here are the atheists and self described evolutionists and darwinists who cannot handle an alternative view of creation. They/You demand that their thory be the only considered view on things. That is wrong and unscientific!
They need a stranglehold on the public school system and expect their lackeys in the secular world to support them.
My interest in all this is that our kids' minds are not force fed one theory to the exclusion of all other possibilities.
There you go again with the "atheists" stuff. Do you not read what we post, or when you read it, is it not processed, or do you just not care?
Doesn't matter.
The theory of evolution is the only scientific theory regarding the origin of species. There are many religious views on the matter, but absolutely none of them is scientific. Most of the time, most believers don't try to pretend their religion should govern science. The rest show up here.
It is not unscientific to keep the unscientific out of science class. Most people regard this as something of a tautology.
They need a stranglehold on the public school system and expect their lackeys in the secular world to support them.
Just lackeys? No "toadies," or "running dogs"? I'm disappointed. What we expect is for rational people to look at the issue rationally, and be able to tell the difference between a faith-based outlook and a scientifically-based outlook. Guess which one belongs in science class.

Ah, now "theories" have to be counterbalanced by "possibilities." And if we have to teach "possibilities" (a section in math class, maybe, after a unit on "probability theory," which is pretty atheistic, come to think of it), wouldn't we have to teach "ill-defined but strongly felt notions"?
And why do you assume that learning the theory of evolution as the scientific explanation of how the diversity of life on planet earth came about will somehow erase everything else from the students' heads? My son had a unit on evolution last year, and he still remembers all sorts of other stuff!
Pope John Paul II was able to declare the T of E did not have to conflict with Catholic doctrine. Unless you're prepared to call the Pope an atheist, you might want to rethink your position. (More-or-less standard note to the bloody-minded: I neither endorse nor deny the correctness of the Pope's position, or the correctness of the Catholic Church. I merely use the Pope as an example of a deeply serious and religious man who does not reflexively reject the Theory of Evolution).
Indeed. For example we wouldn't want to force feed our kids the secular humanist notion that slavery is bad when committed Christians in this forum have an alternate theory, that it is pretty good really.
"Teach the controversy!"
All of your ranting and raving does not change the fact that you are quoting out-of-context to support a false claim. That is fundamentally dishonest, but since you don't have a fact on your side you seem content to resort to lies.
