And why do you assume that by stating my opinion that I am "pushing" my views on others. By expressing your view that you believe evolution and intelligent design should be taught together, does that mean that you are pushing your view on others?Part of the answer is we have to stop pushing our views on others. Really, the more we do the more hypocritical we all are. Compromise and compassion come from acceptance that our views are only right for ourselves. We all have different paths that brought us here. And looking into others with curiosity rather than trying to change their views is a start. IMO.
Did you not read a single thing I posted? Intelligent design's stated goal is to re-establish fundamentalist religious views in all areas of science, starting by attacking evolution - they are waging war on science and you want to let them in the classroom????? Don't believe me? Read their own words - http://www.scribd.com/doc/20872000/The- ... e-DocumentIn my view, if you put the two together you can learn more than taking away teaching intelligent design along with evolution. IN my mind they can go together. If you knew me and my thoughts on God and the universe you may understand where I am going with this. Really, string theory is part of that. One interesting fact that has some searching string theory is that if it is proven it could explain some parts of some religions scientifically.
God may not have anything to do with religion to you, but it does to these people and they have an agenda to make you believe it to.Another book that is fascinating is the book "Embraced by the Light". My view of the universe, God has nothing to do with religion. But it does have to do with Evolution and Intelligent design together. SC, you are asking me the wrong questions. I can't answer them in this context, because that is not my point.
Fear?? Do you know why they're fighting the teaching of evolution? Their attempts to destroy science are pitiful and transparent, which is why they've lost over and over again in courts of law. Every other person who's posted on this thread has even agreed that if it's to be taught, it should be in its own separate religious class, not in science classes - why are you stubbornly clinging to having to teach them together or not teaching them at all - that's what they want, that's their proven agenda, so it comes down to what's right and what's wrong, and what's legal. It's illegal to teach religion in public school, period. It's not fear, it's about what's appropriate: you don't teach history in math class, you don't teach underwater basket weaving in Biology 101, and you don't teach a concept created by people who have blatantly stated that they are trying to destroy science in a science class. It's a fact as admitted by the Discovery Institute themselves, not "perception". Would you be okay with teaching atheism in Sunday school? That Hitler was a hero, and concentration camps were fictitious stories made up by the media, at a Jewish synagogue?CinnamonGirl wrote: Really, the problem is fear. What are you afraid of if intelligent design is taught with evolution? It would solve the problem of people fighting the teaching evolution in science class.
