What the creationist seems to know is that most people see the word 'theory' as 'not fact'.
Just further proof that some people overestimate the power of nuance in public discourse. -----Original Message----- From: G Money [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 12:20 PM To: CF-Community Subject: I love this story http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/02/evolution-wins.html Florida education board is wrestling with science standards that don't require the teaching of evolution. At the last minute, someone suggests changing "evolution" to "the scientific theory of evolution". One of the remaining creationist holdouts agrees that this is fine, then declares victory for the creationists. Unfortunately, in order to teach the "the scientific theory of evolution", students will need to be well versed in how a scientific theory differs from a regular theory: "A vast body of observation and testing that confirms a hypothesis so strongly that it might as well be considered fact." Darwin, FTW! Just further proof that your average intelligent design proponent has no idea what "science" really is. -- My word's but a whisper Your deafness, a shout ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:254923 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
