"Yesterday’s 6-4 vote by the Kansas Board of Education was a big win for proponents of “intelligent design” – those who believe the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power."
This has taken Kansas, and the US, one step closer to Oz and away from reality. This measure actually redefines the term "science" to remove it’s restriction to natural phenomena. This takes me back to my early childhood in the summer when we would have thunderstorms. I’d ask my mom what thunder and lightning were. She would just reply that it’s God bowling and it flashed when he hit the pins. Being that I was 4, I found that answer to be quite acceptable and moved on. Other kids were told that thunder was God moving the furniture around and rain was God crying. The list goes on and on, but luckily through good use of science we’ve explained these events over time. But hundreds of years ago when science wasn’t there to explain complex events and phenomena, stories and tales were created to provide comfort. And slowly, these have been extinguished over time. Actually, this reminds me of a movie called, "The Gods Must Be Crazy" in which an African tribesman comes in contact with a Coke bottle. The entire village is amazed by the bottle and its unique properties. They assume, due to lack of knowledge, that it was a gift from the gods. Well the bottle obviously didn’t come from the gods; it was tossed out of an airplane by a pilot :) But anywho, back to business.
Christians believe God created everything. That’s great, but what about the countless other creation stories from other cultures? Should those be taught as well? Of course not, because there has to be a limit on what is taught in the classroom. What should be taught is what we have learned through observation and practice and it should be independent of religion. Save the story telling for bedtime and keep the facts in school. Intelligent Design "theory" is an attempt from the Judeo-Christians to push their beliefs on the public and to be quite frank; it’s just another form of proselytizing because it’s specific to that religion.

[...] Voters in Pittsburgh put the smack-down on eight Republican school board members and replaced them with Democrats who want Intelligent Design stripped from the science curriculum. You can read the complete story here. Having just seen the people of Kansas lose their minds, this news comes at a good time. I’m sure this battle is far from over and will last years. Grab some popcorn and a little Jesus Juice then sit back and enjoy the show. [...]
Its funny how the supporters of Darwism can not nor will accept any critism of thier unproven theories. Reminds me of intolerance of the fanatics burning down buildings becuase of some cartoons.
It is also funny how the fable believers can not nor will not understand that in science there are no proven theories. There are only disproven theories. All theories are subject to and critique and revision if proven mistaken. The bible is held to be above critique by some people and is therefore not even valid to be taught as a theory.
if you don’t believe in Evolution because it is not proven, then why do you believe Creationism? Last I heard it wasn’t proven either
touche there Juan… Pity that this would be lost on our ‘anon’ friend.
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your will get. Unless you got your box from a christian vender, then watch out for BS and empty promises.
