I thought the government "we the people" were not suppose to fund religion in public places.
Which religion? The Magical Alchemy of Mindless Evolution?
Evolution is a religion, that very old religion called "we are gods", it requires faith to be believed.
Why is it that psychiatrists are nuts?

My oh my. The Luddites are already out in full force on this one.
...typical ad hominem from the nonsensical non-science darwinite
It's even worse than you think. I googled the guy. He's on the president's council on bioethics. The left is going to have a field day with this.
So did I. I can't find a solid connection to the Discovery Institute.
Everyone agrees that the Scopes trial (viciously caricatured in the play and movie Inherit the Wind) was a setback for the teaching of scientific reasoning. But the same is true of the Georgia ruling, Darwinism being quite obviously a biological theory and open to dispute. To claim otherwise is to be woefully misinformed.And this guy gets published in the Weekley Standard. What can you do but roll your eyes.
A desperate search for conspiracies. You guys are absurd.
At least quit calling people names if they retain an open mind.
I'll tell ya, I'm a liberal and if not for the fact that I'm on this ping list, I'd be thinking right now that Creationism was a plank in the conservative platform.
So you've kept at least one person from generalizing Creationism/ID to all conservatives, if nothing else. :)
I've noticed that the neo-cons tend to oppose evolution. William Kristol has expressed his opposition numerous times, so it's not suprising that his rag should print such a piece. Neocons are not religious, so I wonder what their motivations are. Any thoughts?
You argue very weekley
Ask him if he believes in the Science of Global Warming. I just had fun heckling a Nature special the other night. They kept saying stuff in direct contradiction to the evolutionary theory in their proofs of evolution.
e.g. Evolution never throws out a good thing once it's developed. So we're supposed to believe us losing our 'fur coats' is a good thing? Our ability to move swiftly with the agility of an animal? How come there are SO many animals that have these 'good handy developments' that they lost? If you say "they lost it because they developed something better" then how come WE lost all those good things just because we developed intelligence? Surely a fur covering and agility/precociousness doesn't interfere with that?
In addition they used the 'fetal development' stuff that has been disproved as a hoax as evidence. They're STILL using that idea!
If evolution is true, then by the same standards, so is global warming, and we'd better see these conservative evolutionists capitulating to those who would have us forfeit our freedom in order to save the environment.

But the same is true of the Georgia ruling, Darwinism being quite obviously a biological theory and open to dispute. To claim otherwise is to be woefully misinformed All biological theories are open to dispute!!! I really don't get the whole "Evolution is just a theory" arguement- so is most of our basic scientific knowledge! A fact is confined to exact temporal and spatial scales. You don't need a sticker in a text book to explain the process of science- any self-respecting professor will do so. Heck I do and I don't have all that much self-respect.
Careful. You evos redefined flaming to include this.
