Kansas School Boards Approves "Intelligent Design" Theory in Science Textbooks

Some of you may remember a previous thread about this but it was never concluded. Now that the outcome has been decided, how do you feel about the decision made by the Kansas School Board?

Its about damn time. Why should the secular and humanistic religion of naturalism be taught in school with the exclusion of any other...hopefully other states will follow this trend.

Bad decision, creationism is not a viable theory to be taught in public schools. Leave that to religion.

'Creationsim' has no evidence to support it. Evolution does.

America takes another step towards becoming a fundamentalist state.

lol @ Kansas. Gotta love religious hicks.

A feel another Dark Ages coming on. First gay-marriage is in the process of being outlawed, now creationism is being taught at school.

I think its a good idea. At our school, we only learn about the Darwin Theory and no real perspective is taught about the religious creation.

what ever happened to seperation of church and state?

Agreed, it's as though we're going backwards instead of forwards.

Hmm.

It's certainly something I think we should be aware of, but putting it in science textbooks seems a bit odd.

I don't know if that's the case, because I don't have the energy to click that link.

Where is the other thread?

In my opinion, I have religous beliefs akin to intelligent design theory because the universe is too ordered and mathematical to not have SOME sort of higher force playing a hand in the universe.

HOWEVER. It's not science. It's more of philosophy. I wouldn't mind intelligent design being taught in philosophy or a religion class but I feel it has no place in a science classroom.

Probably on page 12 or something. I'm too lazy to get it... 😛

Semantic nonsense. "Macro-Evolution"..the fundemental "philosophical" concept behind Neo-Darwinism has no empirical evidence supporting it.

It is nothing more than an adult fairy tale..albeit an very elaborate one..but a fairy tale none the less. Peppered with a little bit of truth here and there. People are finally starting to realize this.

Here it is...pretty damn good thread. Adam Poe and I argued over the definition of Buddhism for about 20 pages on it..lol..

So, out of curiousity, what does this make creationism? To you.

I think this is rather funny, involving ID in science class and why man screwed up the bibble....did dinosaurs get on the ark too......

I mean anyone that knows the bible belt knows KC and MO are the belt buckle to the bibble belt it was bound to happen........

Although many ID proponents are religious...there are some that aren't...or so I'm told...

it's real.....why do you think evolution's called a theory??? b/c there are other possibilities...Darwin certainly wasn't god...I'll tell you that right now

Creationism is a theory related to the bible and junk and stuff.

Intelligent design does not have to involve the bible.

Perhaps you are right however when you get to the point in a lecture/discussion on how everything in the universe happens so precisely despite chaos obviously there must be a higher power directing it.......I think we can all look at that and have an idea where that discussion can go to...
