I'm a believer in God and I still don't want this stupid mythology of Intelligent Design taught in a science class. Teach science in a science class. Teach the rest in a philosophy or a religion class.
That has nothing to do with the subject of the thread.
There is no mention of classrooms in the article, however since you extrapolated to classrooms, if there is massive dissent on an issue why indoctrinate children to either side?
Would you have supported teaching the geocentric theory, accepted as common sense and good science in its day, against the heliocentric theory?
Methinks so.
Teaching science also requires one of two things: 1) teach the extremely unscientific nature of the theory of evolution 2) stop teaching evolution as science.
But what would you teach in a science class as evolution is just science fiction
"I'm a believer in God and I still don't want this stupid mythology of Intelligent Design taught in a science class. Teach science in a science class. Teach the rest in a philosophy or a religion class."
I am a believer also and agree with you. Trying to cram religion into a science discussion does not belong. Evolution in general does occur, science has proven this. What Darwin and science cannot prove is that we are direct descendants of apes. It is the "missing link" they will never find. Genesis is scientifically accurate in the fact listing of how water appeared on earth, then land then fish, then birds, then animals then man. The bible writer Moses couldn't have possibly known these scientific facts which is one of the main reasons I believe in God and intelligent design.
I find it interesting that you choose to characterize as "stupid mythology" a field of inquiry that acknowledges the possibility that the Universe was designed by possibly the very God in which you believe.
Not wanting the information presented in science classes is an understandable position (although it is one with which I disagree), but why would a believer in God characterize it as "stupid mythology"?
