More examples of Republican nannyism and interfearing w/ freedom...

no its not. i am not surprised your intellectual shortcomings are similar to tom's. you guys get along so well, i just assumed it was because you're a pill, but now i realize you're both also mental midgets.

there is some scientific evidence for creationism, the flood etc....thus, teaching could be done in line with education. i suggest you read a book by harold g. coffin instead of making ignorant posts like the above.

Nah, I think it's that we've both had many years' experience chewing up and spitting out twerps like you who think they know it all.

There may be scientific evidence for the flood but it doesn't translate to evidence for creationism. That's inductive reasoning. I've read material by Dembski and Behe, and even that turgid "textbook" Of Pandas and People, and am not convinced. Also, Behe's university has a disclaimer on their website regarding his views:

"While we respect Prof. Behe's right to express his views, they are his alone and are in no way endorsed by the department. It is our collective position that intelligent design has no basis in science, has not been tested experimentally and should not be regarded as scientific."

Even my church supports evolution: "...while he was the Vatican's chief astronomer, Fr. George Coyne, issued a statement on 18 November 2005 saying that "Intelligent design isn't science even though it pretends to be. If you want to teach it in schools, intelligent design should be taught when religion or cultural history is taught, not science." Cardinal Paul Poupard added that "the faithful have the obligation to listen to that which secular modern science has to offer, just as we ask that knowledge of the faith be taken in consideration as an expert voice in humanity." He also warned of the permanent lesson we have learned from the Galileo affair, and that "we also know the dangers of a religion that severs its links with reason and becomes prey to fundamentalism."

I suggest you consider that there's no way creationism/ID is scientific, and furthermore, that science doesn't prove anything, it disproves. Then your response to my "ignorant" post wouldn't be twice as "ignorant".
