“Wanting to follow a religious agenda instead of teaching science. The goal of the ID movement is admittedly a larger social change.”
LOL! Aren’t you tired of the worn out line of “religion” as a defense to atheism - evolution? “Religion” has nothing to do with SCIENCE. THe FACTS are that evolution is JUNK SCIENCE. It is unprovable and lacks evidence to support it. The goal of “ID” is to teach SCIENCE! There you go again trying to frame it as “religion”.
“Among teachers of high school biology and life sciences classes, approximately 31 percent of them do not have at least a minor in biology.”
Okay, so you have IGNORANT peole teaching junk science.
“And thus more susceptible to the pseudoscience crap they heard in church instead of knowing the real science of biology.”
All they do is tout propaganda. The test book makers, McGraw Hill, Houghton Miton etc. actually have books written to suit what the schools WANT. So you hav estupid teachers teaching from biased unscientific books.
No, Science is NOT about “religion”
You are correct. Now if only we could get the IDers to quit trying to put religion into the science curriculum.
There you go again! Science is NOT about “religion”. “IDER’s” as you call them want SCIENCE not propaganda and junk Science.
We use Singapore Science. There is no “religion” in there. It is straight SCIENCE. It is the U.S. that is totally preoccuppied with Darwin and others like him. The Pacfic Rim is eating our lunch in both MATH and SCIENCE and you still want to frame the argumant as a “religious” one. How sad! You don’t get it. You are as brainwashed as those you are critical of teaching this crap in high school.
Frankly, you can blame “religion” or whateer you want. My kids are getting REAL SCIENCE.
Religion as a defense to science. It's happened whenever the religious become scared of scientific advances. They even accused Newton, a deeply religious man, of mixing the occult and science.
It is unprovable
Leave your proofs to math where they belong. Otherwise, we're talking about a scientific theory. Meanwhile, Natural Selection was coined by a person who was deeply religious at the time, but was able to separate his personal beliefs and science.
“IDER’s” as you call them want SCIENCE not propaganda and junk Science.
ID is founded in religion, and so is its precursor, creationism.
We use Singapore Science. There is no “religion” in there. It is straight SCIENCE.
I don't know anything about these people, but I just looked them up. You may be right since although they mention Behe's idiot book, they put a disclaimer on it that they in no way endorse or agree with it.
The people in Singapore and for the most part the rest of the industrialized world can't understand your problem with evolution. To them it's a non-issue. You have your belief, and that's fine. But teach the current state of science, and right now that's evolution.
