Intelligent Design Trial Ends

[Dover]

HARRISBURG, Pa. - A lawyer for eight families urged a federal judge on Friday to overturn a policy that requires the discussion of “intelligent design” in biology classes, saying it improperly promotes religion in schools.

But a lawyer for the school board defended the policy, explaining that it was intended to call attention to a new “science movement.”

The families’ attorney, Eric Rothschild, said the concept promotes the Bible’s view of creation by saying some features of organisms are so complex that they are best explained as the products of an intelligent agent rather than natural selection...cont'd

2. Its Not Science......Its an Opinion, a Wish, a Guess, a False Hope.

3. They actually MISUSE scientific concepts in ID. Why would you want to

teach that to students in a science class, EXCEPT as an example of what is NOT science?

4. Its Dangerous to teach this sort of hogwash because of the susceptible

factor being high in High School. Students might actually believe this.

5. I hope you enjoyed that flushing sound.It is the start of another kind

of movement. With that rationale, we should teach naziism in social studies because its a new kind of old social movement.
