It is not nearly as bad as you try to make it out to be. I guess I must have missed it along the way (in case it was ever posted), but can you provide us links or copies of said curriculum Aaron? I've yet to see (and would like to see) what specifically the ID-taught-in-science-class proponents have in mind, aside from "we want equal time to rebut evolution".
By the way, I find it humorous that religious people can't be liberals. I'm certain there are many "religious left" people who are equally surprised.
Not sure what you mean by -- or where you're going -- with this, but I'm about as liberal as they come (and why I feel especially strong that GWB should butt out of the discussion!).
...there have been several comments lately that have basically implied that if you believe anything religious you must be soft in the head and not have the capacity for rational thought.
I must have missed all that. It sounds like YOU are reading way too much into the comments, because I never read any such thing; be careful of practicing hyperbole here or you will not be taken seriously.
Many of these comments come from people on the group who claim to have a belief in God...
I'm also a (lifelong) active LDS High Priest (former Bishop no less), so my claim to belief in diety isn't just blowing smoke, FWIW.
There is very little talk about Creation or religion in there. From what I have read all they want to do is point out the weaknesses in the theory of evolution. If you > do not think there are any you are just as close-minded as the "religious right" you are so afraid of.
If preaching their religion isn't their principal goal, then why single out evolutionary theory to pick on? Why not include every one of the multitude of scientific frontiers whose theories still have holes (nearly every one that I can think of)? But the implication is that the science of evolution is somehow more flawed than any other branch of science (the ID conspiracy theory that biologists and zoologists and geologists and geneticists and others have some kind of evil agenda to stifle honest investigative science), and I just do not see that. -Rich __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
