How about a sticker proclaiming "the theory of gravity" as well? How about "the heliocentric solar system"? We could go on and on.

This sticker stuff is just silly.

Evolution, now that's silly...

Things have been slow lately. Might as well crank up the ol' ping machine ...

"This sticker stuff is just silly."

=================================

No it's not. It's very serious business when the federal gubmint wants to tell our children their ancestors were monkies and not made in the likeness and the image of Almighty God.

That is the part they won't get away with.

I agree. And if evolution is only a theory (which no scientist denies) what then is Creationism? It's a religious dogma unamenable to reasoned analysis. If people want it taught to their children as part of their religious upbringing, it's incumbent upon them to do it themselves, at their own expense.

Is there a group with an alternative explanation that also has wide popular support?

If so, then ask them to propose another sticker.

Gravity is a Law, not a Theory. It's the "Law of Gravity". Same with the heliocentric solar system. If macroevolutionary theory "passes every experimental test for a long period of time and is generally accepted as true" then it can become a law.

I read something very interesting the other day about a mamals inner ear evolving twice. That indecates some mechanism at work. There is a lot of inconclusive evidence supporting something like evolution. Gravity on the other hand is a slam dunk. I personally do not think evolution should be taught as scientific fact, but rather as our current best guess, something is going on but until we understand the mechanism better keeping an open mind should be encougaged.

I agree with what John Derbyshire has said. We should also place stickers on books that say "Intelligent Design is a critique, not a theory".

No offense, but what is silly is RadioAstronomer responding to a thread where people are so ignorant of science that they think the sticker even makes sense.

You can't have a conversation with people that refuse to accept simple definitions. It's a waste of time at best, and cruel at worst, like poking an animal in a cage with a sharp stick.

[Republican Wildcat]

Well, that's your opinion...and that's fine - but how does it involve the U.S. Constitution?
