Here’s hoping Texas avoids the Kansas embarrasment.
It will happen. The PR model is proven to work, and it is a foregone conclusion.
Those of us who want the facts to govern in these matters are SOL.
Science as defined by the scientific method, consists of things that were observed or are repeatable. There are no observer’s records of evolution nor has it been repeated. We do however have an eyewitness record of creation. The Bible also tells us that at some point creation will also be repeated as a new heavens and a new earth will be created by God. So evolution could certainly not claim to be a more scientific theory of our origin. An unbiased Scientist would also considers all possible explanations. An explanation would not be ruled out simply because it is also an article of Christian faith. Belief in anything unproved is faith. Believing in evolution takes faith and the details of the theory itself are in a constant state of flux. Those on the leading edge of evolutionary theory willingly admit that most of what I was taught thirty years ago about evolution they now known to be impossible. So why teach as dogma the current theory of evolution which will ultimately be called impossible by evolutionists of the future. If we’re interested in teaching science we should teach kids to question the theory if we have any interest in them refining it when they grow up. If we teach kids to accept the theory how it is and not to doubt it where it conflicts with scientific evidence we are teaching it to them as a religious belief. Evolution has always gone against the second law of thermodynamics and the recent advances in genetic study have caused the theory of evolution to evolve on a daily basis as things once taught are found to be false. To not allow evidence pro and con and competing theories to be taught is close minded. And I thought only us creationists were supposed to be that way...Ha Ha Ha.
If one intends to endorse something be bold and do it properly.
>>”How can the materialistic philosophic naturalistic base dependency of Darwinism be brought into the discussion and used for our benefit?” Dr. McLeroy asked, according to a recording of the speech. “We didn’t use it. All we did was stay with evidence, and we got run over.”<<
The implication being that next time he wants to science decision to be made on philosophy rather than evidence.
That’s honest of him to say but not good if he carries that out.
There’s no such things as “microscopes”.
Give up on the public schools. Forget trying to change them.
Don’t teach ID and don’t teach evolution. This is the only acceptable solution to this problem.
