I wasn't attacking your "character" (assuming you have any). I'm attacking your phony belief system. "Intelligent design" is and always has been a stalking horse of biblical literalists trying to give their position the odor "rational thought", and slip it into the educational system as "just another scientific position"......it isn't. People like you marginalize yourselves with phony arguments.

Oh wow! I am a terrible proof reader. The following should say:

2)How the origins of the universe and man’s appearance in it is taught to children and young adults has **enormous** religious consequences for the child and for all of society. Citizens rightfully resent having government establishing one religious worldview over another. It is a freedom of conscience issue.

3)) Government schools are funded through compulsory taxes, and for all those who can not access private of homeschooling attendance is **COMPULSORY**! Citizens and parents are justified in being angry in having their children indoctrinated in a worldview that is abhorrent to them.

I did. All horse manure.

"ALL education is filtered through either a godless or God-centered worldview. Neither worldveiw, godless or God-centered, is religiously neutral in content or consequences."

We're not talking "all education", we're talking about science, specifically biology. Like it or not, in biology, evolution is THE scientific explanation.

"The origins of the universe and man's appearance in it is taught to children and young adults has **enormous** religious consequences for the child and for all of society. Citizens rightfully resent having government establishing one religious worldview over another. It is a freedom of conscience issue."

As usual, like all biblical creationists, you change the subject from evolution in biology to "the origins of the universe and man's appearance in it". They are completely different things. Biblical creationists appear not to understand the differences between cosmological evolution, stellar evolution, planetary evolution, chemical evolution, and biological evolution, but mash them all together into "evil evolution" because the theories disagree with Genesis.

"Evolutionists are the biggest bullies when it comes to shoving godless, socialist-funded, **compulsory** government run and owned schooling down the taxpayers’s throat."

No, you're mistaking "evolutionists" with communists. The two groups are not the same. All the evolutionists I know of just want to see science taught in science classes. If you want to establish a compulsory "comparative religion" class and teach "creation science" and "intelligent design" there, I'm fine with that. But not in biology class.

"The creationists are far more tolerant and far more likely to support separation of school and state,( as well as complete separation of science and state) and willing to let evolutionist believe what they want.

Complete baloney. It isn't "evolutionists" pushing to have "intelligent design" taught as science...it is biblical literalist creationists.
