These are the people the creationists are handing a "can't lose" issue to beat us with.

Been watching this train-wreck coming for years.

"From there, people are introduced to 'the truth' of the Bible and then 'the question of sin' and finally 'introduced to Jesus.'"


A slippery slope indeed. They make it sound like heroin.

The fear: "Don't talk to me about sin." But we're all sinners. Only the love of God can take it away. What a choice: do I deny my sin so I can continue to live with it? Or do I admit it and let it be removed?

"These are the people the creationists are handing a "can't lose" issue to beat us with."

If "losing" has anything to do with the forthing idiocy of this article, I can't wait to find out what socialist "rationality" is all about.

When the science of something becomes unchallengeable dogma, then it can be said society is hostile to the scientific method. So whose version of how and why we are here is unchallengeable, and who then is really at war with science?

While I am a supporter of intelligent design, if it is true that teachers were required to read some statement to their students, then I would oppose that.

I would oppose forcing them to read any kind of statement (other than administrative school functions, etc.) regarding controversial subjects.

Just include access to alternative information in the library. Do not block school internet access to ID sites. Acknowledge and allow questions about alternatives to evolution.

Teaching Intelligent Design in the schools is part of a whole Christian Fascist movement in the United States that has power and prominence in the government, from the Bush regime on down.

Nothing like a good Communist rant.

Intelligent Design (ID) is basically a re-packaged version of creationism--the view that the world can be explained, not by science, but by a strict, literal reading of the Bible.

Calling ID advocates strict literalists shows how little homework this author has done.

"Since then Intelligent Design has been promoted by Christian fundamentalists as the way to get the Bible and creationism into the schools."

I am 57 years old, an NOT a Christian fundamentalist.

And I was taught the equivalent of Intelligent Design, by my mother, also not a Christian fundamentalist.

So it is a false notion that Intelligent Design is some new, clever method invented by Christian fundamentalists, to sneak Bible creation over on folks.

Besides, don't the Christian fundamentalists still subscrive to the seven day version? Why would they settle for the millions of years version?

To me, Intelligent Design is the Intelligent conclusion, to the question of "where did all this neat stuff come from?"

"Us?" Who's this "us," tonto?

You are the one who agrees with these commies 100%.

It's Bush's fault anyway.

Though I oppose ID taught on public schools, why the hell is the ACLU jumping into this issue?? I thought their claim to being non-partisan proponents of free speech died when they foolishly opposed the Minute Man Project (for exercising their freedom of speech no less).
