There's really nothing else to say except let's get 100,000 people in the streets and protest.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

there is a nice error in there where they misused "Secular" where they meant to say "sectarian"

So wait, evolutionists are feeling threatened by something else being taught alongside their preferred theory in schools?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

No, we just feel that it's a step backwards to put less emphasis on an extremely well proven theory with tons of evidence supporting it and then put more emphasis on beliefs based on taking the Bible too literally. I'm a christian, btw but that doesn't mean that I don't think creationism is retarded.

Let me put it this way. Suppose someone told you that all priests must now preach Islam and Buddism from the pulpit because Christianity is a theory wouldn't you be pissed off or would you be making the same comment about how christians are threatened by another faith being taught alongside theirs?

Intelligent Design has no place in a science class. It's the very antithesis of science in that it starts with a conclusion and then attempts to fit the evidence around it rather than the other way around.

Teaching intelligent design in science class is like teaching Latvian in English class. Wrong subject.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

I'd say more at an - inherently - unproven and unproveable belief being taught as a valid alternative to ccorrectly formed scientific theory within the environment of a scientific lesson or class.

Creationism is a belief.  It should be taught in theology or religious education, not science.

This sort of move is worthy of the 19th century, not the 21st.  It's backwards and wilfully ignorant.

You'd be surprised. I've seen many 17 year olds with beliefs similarly absurd around here. I'm particularly amused by those who tell me about the second law of thermodynamics...

Christian board members who say evolution is largely unproven and can undermine religious teachings about the origins of life on earth.[/qoute]

ya, because they've never found fossils of prehistoric animals, of which include apes and early man:rolleyes:
I wonder if they believe in dinosaurs...

They act as if they're beliefs have facts behind them and that their religion is a science. Even if evolution is 'largely unproven' (which it isn't), the existence of God or higher being in completely unproven.
