Bill Ounce:" Science can say nothing about God." Wrong.
That is the whole point of Kansas.
A couple of grave diggers, Sagan,Dawkins,Lewontin,Jay
Gould are saying a lot about God: i.e. that He does not
exist.
Based on what? Based on a couple of skulls that even
have a missing link, i.e. no hard evidence.
This in science is called extrapolation
and it is not proof.
Scientists 2000 years ago left meat in a jar and few
days later maggots came out. They extrapolated that
maggots were created by meat. Give me a break.
These grave diggers have similarly extrapolated that
we came from slime.
That has still a long way to be proven and they haven't.
Meanwhile however, and here is the Kansas Board rub,
they, and the Public School Intelligentsia will
not let the teaching of other extrapolations
i.e. that the Universe was created by God, based on
other data that many people believe are just as
credible as buried skulls going nowhere
so far ( the missing links issue ).
I am talking about miracles for example .
The Vatican Archives are full of documented evidence,
from State University Hospital records,
written by credible physicians ( independent Professors
at University Medical Schools across the world , many
of who are non- Christians ), that people were healed i
n an unexplainable manner; that is in a manner
totally inconsistent with the normal natural course
of that disease.ie a miracle.
When one day you have an X-rayed and biopsied deadly
cancer mass, and next week it's gone, many people
scratch their heads and say," hey wait a minute, what's
going on? Divine intervention?".
That is why Sagan and co are having a hard time selling
90% of Americans on the " we came from slime evolution issue " and rightly so.
Bottom line:
1)Most Americans ( includes me ) want a full text of
all the scientific data on evolution to be taught in High
School
2)However we do not want to draw conclusions based on
so far incomplete evolutionary data to also conclude,
and teach, that there is no God. ( The current trend
towards atheism in schools ).
3)more and more Americans, through vouchers,
these days , want also religion to be taught
to their children.
i.e. they want evolution and religion to coexist until
the matter is resolved in a definite manner ( i.e.
until we assume room temperature, the only sure way to find out, <VBG> ).
Most Americans ( includes me )
1) do not want religion to be forced on any high
schooler
2) do not believe in " creationism " which , in the
opinion of most, is still in a pseudoscientific method
of trying to apply mostly metaphorical Biblical descriptions to natural events
