There are some smart people trapped here...Ceridwen018 said:Georgia = ...heh, heh--never on the map!
Does that qualify as an embarrassment, or would that be classified as a crying shame?NetDoc said:Oh sure, bring up the 2000 election again will ya!
While we're at it, why don't we teach them spontaneous generation too? :banghead3Huh? Ok, I see what you mean! Evolution in it's present state of being seems to explain the origen of the universe and all life here as the ultimate answer!
How can you or any Darwinist be so naive? None of us have all the answers. To teach the kids that Darwinian Evolution is the only reality and "truth" is cheating them out of pondering many different theories and even ancient
legends and yes religions which are really just a means of passing down older theories from past civilizations. I don't think what I said was a cop out and yes I want to water down the "theory" of evolution as an opinion! Many of the teachings of this theory are just that, Opinion based on what I consider very primative research by a people that are very young compared to this universe!
Anyway, who knows what sudent may come up with something totally unknown to us all!

For once, I find myself in agreement with an editorial writer.editorial said:There is little enough time to discuss mainstream evolution in most schools; the Dover students get two 90-minute classes devoted to the subject. Before installing intelligent design in the already jam-packed science curriculum, school boards and citizens need to be aware that it is not a recognized field of science. There is no body of research to support its claims nor even a real plan to conduct such research. In 2002, more than a decade after the movement began, a pioneer of intelligent design lamented that the movement had many sympathizers but few research workers, no biology texts and no sustained curriculum to offer educators. Another leading expositor told a Christian magazine last year that the field had no theory of biological design to guide research, just "a bag of powerful intuitions, and a handful of notions." If evolution is derided as "only a theory," intelligent design needs to be recognized as "not even a theory" or "not yet a theory." It should not be taught or even described as a scientific alternative to one of the crowning theories of modern science.
No, it doesn't and no one claims it does. It is, however, the only accepted scientific explanation for the diversity of life on earth and it well-supported by the evidence.seraphimfire said:Evolution in it's present state of being seems to explain the origen of the universe and all life here as the ultimate answer!
