Well...sort of. It's where and how they want it taught that is the problem. No one would have any problem with ID being discussed in a religious studies class, for instance. This class could instruct students on what ID believes, compare and contrast that to the creation stories of other religions, even discuss how this conflicts or agrees with evolution. All that would be perfectly acceptable in my book. Hell, I happen to agree with ID for the most part! It's their insistence that ID be treated as a scientific theory in a public science class that is the specific problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Save $10 Download ZoneAlarm Security Suite http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=66 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:183686 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
