tejek,

re:Bush Remarks Roil Debate on Teaching of Evolution

I do not share Bush's fundamental belief in ID nor should it be taught with equal stature - I think it's wrong and when compared in the light of day in a class room setting I believe it's obviously not a factually supported idea - creationism has been updated into an attack against evolution and renamed ID.

From the article and what I read on their www.discovery.org web site - "if you look at their theological and scientific writings, you see that the movement is fundamentally anti-evolution."

It still belongs historically before evolution and should be "taught" in the context of pre-evolution theory or as science history. Much like the flat earth idea's of other peoples - it's a part of history. Perhaps we're not connecting on the word teach - Bush is wrong to believe this should be taught along side evolution, I believe it should however be taught before evolution to contrast the development of evolution.

So perhaps my position is best stated as don't ban the theory from the class room - but don't elevate it to the same level.

It's sure hard to defend an idea I don't believe in. <g>
