1. 6500 votes, and 30% say yes?

Jeeezus. No wonder Bush polls at 35%.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. In Sunday school only

and only in those churches who think Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs.

[CatBoreal]

3. In a Comparative Religions class, absolutely.

In a Biology class, ABSOLUTELY NOT!

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Absolutely not.

And anyone who espouses it shouldn't be allowed to even touch a science cirriculum anywhere.

They belong in the philosophy or science-fiction departments.

They don't even belong in the theology department, either, since they're theology is totally fucked up and unbiblical.

[Fox Mulder]

5. ONLY in church.

[maximovich]

7. Notice How Many are Posting this stuff

over and over again....

For such a minority who believe in this Intelligent Mythology, I'd say they have a great marketing campaign going on here.

[MindPilot]

8. Maybe in a creative writing class

but only as an example of really bad satire.

[Solon]

9. In a critical thinking course as BS, taught by Pen and Teller n/t

[jody]

10. ID as a topic consists of one unprovable assertion, "God did it", then

what?

[Bill McBlueState]

14. This is key

It's, as you say, one unprovable assertion. Thus, beyond stating the assertion, there's nothing to teach.

[displacedtexan]

16. That's all the backside of the Bell Curve needs...

... That "God did it."

[WritingIsMyReligion]

27. "Satan fucked it up"??

:shrug:

THAT gene pool has more than its fair share of chlorine.

[MN ChimpH8R]

11. Sure, right along with the phlogiston theory

of chemistry and the earth-centered solar system in A History of Discredited Ideas.

[Xenotime]

12. by unintelligent people

who can't keep it in their pants. Makes me sick.

[liberal N proud]

13. You can teach religion in the public school when we can teach evolution

in the churches.

[BlueEyedSon]

[mshasta]

[YOY]

19. I'd say only in 'Special Ed Class' but

I wouldn't want to insult some of the sweet special people I've known.

[aikoaiko]

20. Not in science classes

As religious studies issue in that it is a creation myth, sure.

As a political science issue on how to push agendas, sure.

As a coomunication issue of propoganda, sure

As a thoery of biological or phyical sciences, no.

[Perky]

21. No (n/t)

[FreedomAngel82]

22. All the polls have been surprising me lately

Including this one.

Yes- 30%

No- 70% at * 7019 responses at 3:40pm est

Polls like this give me hope that our country really is more progressive and we agree more than we disagree unlike how the "religious right" want you to believe.

[Conan_The_Barbarian]

23. Only when

Science is no longer defined as The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.

and is redefined as the service and worship of God or the supernatural and the commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance.

If that happens then that would be logical but until then only scientific theories and laws based off of or proven by objective physical and rational evidence.

[Mr. McD]

24. Perhaps in a Mythology class

:shrug:

[mzteris]
