"I just dont like creeps that wanted prayers in school in the 80's and now are the same ones that want ID taught."
This is a myth. I only know of scientists who want ALL of Darwinian Evolution to be taught in school. Rather than just the evidence which seemingly supports it. These people include agnostics, jews and even atheists.
No, I do not believe you understand ID. The only epistemological reason I know of is that some people don't think that there should be an educational monopoly which enforces philosophical materialism.
There’s a simple way for this problem to go away: stop stealing the money of the unwashed masses (in the form of taxes) to underwrite an ideologically driven materialistic conception of science; instead, get your money from secular elites like Paul Allen, George Soros, Charles Simonyi, etc.
People teach Darwinian Evolution because they are either ignorant of the evidence against or have a philosophical bias and are scholastically dishonest.

slow down dude, damn.
james dobson wants ID taught because he is all sciencey?

MONEYCIDE: Jesus already knows about the fossil evidence. ;)
The trouble is that we have fossils without soft tissue. We can only compare morphological homology. This can only tell us that there once existed creatures that shared features of apes and humans. And that perhaps they "evolved" ultimately into modern homo sapiens. However, the evidence shows that these fossils are distinct in their morphology and appear suddenly in the fossil record without the thousands of intermediates that Darwin's theory demands.

Anyone else get the vibe that flagellum/discipler is a paid forum troll working for the discovery institute?

mrdobolina: as I've discussed with you a thousand times before... scientific evidence carries philosophical implications. Darwinian Evolution does, The Big Bang does, The Cosmologic Constants do, Intelligent Design does. People of faith, like myself and James Dobson, can't help the fact that the last 30 years of scientific evidence points strongly to a designing intelligence. That's just how it is.
Don't conflate the theory or evidence with it's implications.

hah, gabriel. That would be nice. I could use an extra paycheck.
Sadly, I'm just a Christian who's a science geek as well.

why is dobson all on the case with ID?
Not because he believes that science is so important.
nothing you say is going to change this.

Of course not. Dobson likes the fact that the evidence supports a designing intelligence, as I just said. So of course he's going to enthusiastically promote ID. But everyone who cares about good solid science being taught should be enthusiastic about ID. Or at least teaching the full story about Darwinian Evolution and it's alleged evidence.

that is what is the sticking point, dobson uses it like a political/religious football.

I don't care.
I promote ID because it's where the evidence points and because I hate that students are being fed 19th century creation myths with my tax dollars.

oh and because of a tremendous disdain for the Darwinian fundamentalists who are spending truckloads of money to launch campaigns against ID out of sheer terror because they know they can't argue with the evidence.

dang, colbert was crackin me up last night on the US evangelicals and their attitude towards the gay marriage vs global warming and poverty debate.
Jesus would surely discriminate against gays before saving the earthly paradise.
