The March 14 Commentary piece, "Illiberal education in Ohio schools," written by my colleague Sen. Rick Santorum, Pennsylvania Republican, erroneously suggested that I support the teaching of "intelligent design" as an alternative to biological evolution. That simply is not true.
Rather, I believe that public school science classes should focus on teaching students how to understand and critically analyze genuine scientific theories. Unlike biological evolution, "intelligent design" is not a genuine scientific theory and, therefore, has no place in the curriculum of our nation's public school science classes.
thank you! thats a point I am always trying to make to creationists and it goes in one ear and out the other like wind through a desert.
Personally, however, I do have a personal philosophy about creation that is a close match to ID. I just dont think God created the minds that we have only to tell us "don't use them."
