[quote=Rustico]I do perceive that there are some similarities in in this agenda, with the push to have intelligent design to be taught. It is more about a political will for social engineering than real substantive content for students.[/quote]

I agree with you about the activist ‘gay agenda’, Russ. But there’s a huge difference. The struggle for gay rights actually happened. It’s a legitimate and factual part of the social history of America. It’s okay to include a couple of paragraphs in a history textbook.

I don’t believe intelligent design should be in a science textbook because it is not science. The scientific method involves hypothesis and experimentation based on measurable, empirical, repeatable observations and models of the physical world.

ID has no basis in science. Has anybody proven the existence of God? That would be news! “Scientists prove: God Exists!” And he’s Christian! Is it okay to include Intelligent Design in a religion textbook? Yes. I’m fine with that. Does it belong in a science textbook? No.
