Heh, most people don't even know what the "Separation of Church and State" means...

Anyway, I think this is a victory for true science. Pushing the false anti-religious agenda on children is absolutely pathetic. The militant atheists try and veil their faith as science. They want to teach our children that we came from monkeys so that we all feel as bad as they do.

*sigh*

There is a way around this, which is to say that some argue the existence of a being that created the universe and guided the process by which humans were created. Then they could go on to classify evolution as the most probable way in which all species became the way they are today, and the human chain of evolution stems from an ancestor primate BUT, as an example of the uncertainty around the creation of phylogenetic trees, there are multiple ways we could've gotten from the ancestor primate to here. Also, species change over time.

If there's a discussion that comes up about a literal interpretation of Genesis, the teacher can talk about how there's multiple interpretations of that book that could accommodate the theory of evolution.

Also, it can be argued that intelligent design is part of a culture, and that multiculturalism should prevail. I don't entirely agree with that statement, but 40% of the nation believes in some form of intelligent design AT LEAST. They're not going to just disappear- if you guys really want evolution to become accepted everywhere, you're going to have to transition people with respect for their religions.

This is not what intelligent design is about. Read my previous post.

Maybe.

I don't see how it will hold up in court though so there's no reason to complain.

But in all seriousness, most people don't understand what the separation of church and state really mean.

...I suggest that we all put on our favorite tea dresses and white gloves , I'll make some nice cucumber sandwiches with the crusts removed and brew up a pot of hot chamomile and then we can all sit around and discuss religion and politics without anyone getting their sensibilities offended . :baby:

Clearly one can only object to religion in a science class if one hates Christians.  It couldn't possibly be motivated by a concern for education. 


And we wonder how the radical right can keep up its "us vs. them" paranoia... In my opinion, of course...  B)


They'll go on until their tinfoil supply runs out...
