HARRISBURG, PA-The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and attorneys with Pepper Hamilton LLP filed a federal lawsuit today on behalf of 11 parents who say that presenting "intelligent design" in public school science classrooms violates their religious liberty by promoting particular religious beliefs to their children under the guise of science education.
"Teaching students about religion's role in world history and culture is proper, but disguising a particular religious belief as science is not," said ACLU of Pennsylvania Legal Director Witold Walczak. "Intelligent design is a Trojan Horse for bringing religious creationism back into public school science classes."
The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United Executive Director, added, "Public schools are not Sunday schools, and we must resist any efforts to make them so. There is an evolving attack under way on sound science...Read More

Spetner exhibits the usual ignorance of evolutionary theory. (It seems he hasn't even done the mathematics.) Each element need not have a selective advantage; such elements need to be merely adequate to survive. One may progress from a molehill to a mountain by crossing a valley.
I have heard that Hans Bethe (after developing the carbon cycle theory), was strolling one evening with his wife. She commented something like, "Don't the stars look pretty tonight, Hans." Bethe supposed replied, "Yes, they do. And I'm the only person in the world who knows how they do it."
"ID is not a scientific theory and should not be taught as an alternative to evolution in our schools."
Sounds like a dogmatic, rigidly religious BELIEF, to me.
Disputing evolution is saying that every scientists in the life sciences is wrong. Scientists from disciplines from genomics to paleontology rely heavily on evolution and support it 100%.
If you want ID taught in schools, fine. But under no circumstances may it be taught in science class, since scientists unanimously agree it is NOT science. Hence, the ACLU is spot on in this case.
ID must be taught in mythology or religion class where it belongs.
AND, as it typically true of the RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE OF THE CULT OF SCIENCE, virtually all of those highlighted phrases are objectively and provably FALSE, abundantly FALSE.
And you are supposed to be an objective, scientific kind of person. Have all your mirrors shattered?
"hairbrained"
What a scientific word!
Of course, scientists can do good work but still be wrong on any specific subject.
Can you please show us the statistically replete research on "hairbrained" in this context? We'd love to see the scientific research!
We can tell.
You evidently
"AGREE COMPLETELY"
AND
"BELIEVE SLAVISHLY!"
Very consistent with the cult of SCIENCE AS RELIGION.
Based on many years experience as both student and tenured professor, the answer is no.
Quite so. The puppet masters planned that one early on. Very early on.
And with 10's of millions of USD through the KGB to sabotage our values and education system, they've essentially won most of this battle in the public schools. They will allow the other side any lastingly significant wins over their and our dead bodies.
The Muslims are strict Creationists however.
HOGWASH.
IF you are remotely as "scientific" as you hold yourself out to be, you know good and well that you can't really get published in even minor juried professional publications unless your RELIGION-OF-SCIENCE-DOCTRINES AND SUB DOCTRINES are slavishly in line with the GROUP THINK of that particular discipline.
IF you don't know that, then I question whether you are in sufficient touch with 'scientific' 'reality' to carry your end of the discussion intelligently or honestly or . . . congruently with objective reality.
AMEN!
Ahhhhhh, a consensus of
THE GATE KEEPERS
OF THE DOCTRINES AND DOGMAS
OF THE RELIGION OF SCIENCE
agree.
Please get it more accurately, next time.
CORRECTION:
Ahhhhhh, a consensus of
THE ****POLITICALLY POWERFUL AND INSTALLED****
GATE KEEPERS
OF THE DOCTRINES AND DOGMAS
OF THE RELIGION OF SCIENCE
agree.
Please get it more accurately, next time.
My dissertation was in values and beliefs.
As SCIENCE is currently practiced and published--as other authors have well illustrated--
IT HAS *ALL* THE HALLMARKS AND DEFINING POINTS OF RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS DOGMA.
That happens to be a very SCIENTIFIC fact, actually.
You can deny it until the cows come home. Doesn't change the facts.
Actually, the globalists have a replacement for evolution waiting in the wings:
PANSPERMIA or some variation thereof. I doubt they'll trot it out until the UFO stuff is more overtly publicized officially.
But it fits in well with the globalists goal of setting up an evil world government.
"Science" indeed. It's turned into something more akin to the black arts within my lifetime. Sad, that.
Thanks. Great summary.
#####The puppet masters planned that one early on#####
It wasn't planned by anyone. But evolution has become dogma for a variety of institutional reasons related to academia, ego, and in some cases ideology.
And the
authoritarian, rigid, Inquisitional, doctrinal dogma of the cult of SCIENCE cannot tolerate even passing note of ANY competing IDEAS, even.
So much for the robustness and 'objectivity' of the cult of 'science.'
