Although there was general jubilation at the ruling, I think the joy will be short-lived, for we have affirmed the principle that a federal judge, not scientists or teachers, can dictate what is and what is not science, and what may or may not be taught in the classroom. Forgive me if I do not feel more free.
This is truly deplorable. As was the treatment of Dr. Sternberg at the Smithsonian, at the hands of thugs. And all evidently because certain people with a metaphysical commitment to materialism cannot brook the idea that there is anything purposeful in nature. And no one is to be allowed to disagree with them!
Thanks for this interesting post, GodGunsGuts. I hope Prof. Turner's wake-up call to his colleagues will be received.
It’s good new and it’s bad news. It’s bad news because it shows the lengths the Church of Darwin will go to protect their increasingly discredited theory of origins. It’s good know because it shows the lengths they are FORCED to go in order to protect their tenuous hold on the ideology of science.
