“According to an international poll released by the British Council, the majority of Americans — 60% — support teaching alternatives to evolution in the science classroom. “

Now we got GGG telling us that the internationals should tell us what we should think.

It would appear that you are the latest FReeper to make the ultimate sacrifice to the Bearded Buddha of Naturalism. You know, it's not too late to reclaim your brain. But you better hurry up and get it back before the Temple of Darwin clears them out to make room for the next batch of darwin-drones:

Easily the biggest challenge facing the ID community is to develop a full-fledged theory of biological design. We don’t have such a theory right now, and that’s a problem. Without a theory, it’s very hard to know where to direct your research focus. Right now, we’ve got a bag of powerful intuitions, and a handful of notions such as ‘irreducible complexity’ and ‘specified complexity’-but, as yet, no general theory of biological design. ~ Paul Nelson Touchstone Magazine 7/8 (2004): pp 64 – 65.

I thought their biggest problem was recruiting their first non-paid member.

Are those the same drones who rejected Darwin's Pangenesis theory?

Yeah, that and a single shred of scientific evidence...

Don’t bother making any sense here. It cannot be absorbed in such an atmosphere. These people don’t “believe” in genetics, so I guess they are happy to condemn millions of ill people to their fate because they are so “wise” they can’t tell the difference between a scientific theory and a religious belief.

I clicked on the “more knowledge” link. well worth effort to read the survey, no wonder the ‘council’ would press for more Darwinism teaching. All that effort and so little results.

How about just eliminating the scientifically refuted evidence which is still in school textbooks and allowing critical thought and discussion of the theory instead of teaching information as scientific fact which isn’t? I remember one sentence in my book that dated a fossil to an EXACT year over 300 million years ago — I mean like 300,343,387 years ago. Last I checked we didn’t have that type of accuracy but the information is communicated in that fashion to dissuade any critical questioning. The controversy is because of the dogma surrounding common ancestry. Day by day the whole thing is smelling more and more like the global warming hoax.

The great trouble with religion — any religion — is that a religionist, having accepted certain propositions by faith, cannot thereafter judge those propositions by evidence. One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak uncertainty of reason — but one cannot have both.

I sometimes wonder if people put stuff like this on the FreeRepublic to make us look like morons.

LOL, All adults accept the fact that in any given population you have a certain number of kooks. But you are correct, just over look them.

“Yeah, whatever... maybe a lot of us are just sick of these stupid “creationists vs. evolutionists” threads that are nothing more than thinly-veiled proselytizing. Why don’t you keep this baloney in the Religion forum where it belongs?”

Oh, no! Not proselytizing! RUN!

How about keeping the proselytizing in the RELIGION forum, instead of in News/Activism?

I am just about finished with Signature in the Cell by Meyers. His analysis is difficult to refute. This probably is why Dawkins refused to debate Dr.Meyers. This is a very important book.

I found a video here on Meyer discussing his book Signature in the Cell. The video is an hour long so I'll have to watch it tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.

Was this the same Muller that offered a eugenics breeding program to Stalin?
