Christians -- depends on the Christian, just like any other group of people. ID yes -- because the logic of ID is provably flawed (Re: what good is half an eye)... and they're demanding that it be taught in a class which is explicitly about proof. Teaching ID in science class is teaching children that flawed logic is just as good as unflawed logic. Hence the frustration of the science community in the face of the insistance taht ID be taught. Okay... I'll allow ID to be taught in science class... on one condition... It needs to be taught the same way that the theory of spontaneous generation was taught in my biology class... That is -- the theory was explained, immediately followed by the explanation of the experiment(s) which disproved the theory. ID can be taught, as long as it is immediately followed by the explanation of why ID is flawed (the fact that there's no irreducible complexity in biological organisms, etc). http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio114/spontgen.htm I'm not saying that people who choose to believe that life is intelligently designed are stupid -- only people who believe in the theory (which also means, you need to have an understanding of the specific theory of ID which most Christians probably don't). Beleiving that an intelligent creator is responsible for life is acceptable -- that's an opinion removed from sicence. Believing that the ID theory is good science is stupid... s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:167823 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
