"Why is it premissible to publicly promote godlessness but not God? "
It's not permissable to do either. The Theory of Evolution is not an atheistic scientific theory. It simply does not address the origins of the first lifeforms. It further does not deal with the origins of the universe.
The fact that many, if not the majority, of biological scientists are Christian adds to the argument that Evolution is not anti-religious.
Indeed, the largest denomination of Christianity endorses the Theory of Evolution as a likely way that speciation occurred on this planet.
Religion is not the issue here, at least for science. Religion is only the issue for the anti-science folks, who are trying to wedge a Judeo-Christian-God-centered belief into science classes.
Do you REALLY expect anyone to believe that when the primary opponents of ID is the Anti Christian Lawyers Union?
It doesn't? It only maintains that offspring are different from their parents and says absolutely nothing about what happened in the remote past?
Then Darwin didn't discover it (the first parent would have). Kinda makes you wonder why people made such a big deal out of Origin of the Species, doesn't it, since everyone who has ever lived has believed in evolution according to this definition.
And Behe and his detractors aren't arguing about what happened millions of years ago but what causes offspring to differ from their parents right now? Wow.
