'Intelligent design' teaching ban

[taratata]

A court in the US has ruled against the teaching of "intelligent design" alongside Darwin's theory of evolution.

 

A group of parents in the Pennsylvania town of Dover had taken the school board to court for demanding biology classes not teach evolution as fact.

 

The authorities wanted to introduce the idea that Earth's life was too complicated to have evolved on its own.

 

Judge John Jones ruled the school board had violated the constitutional ban on teaching religion in public schools.

How silly, to think that something as intricate as this could have been created...

[Gryph]

This is great news.

[NeuronMaster]

Just one question I have about evolution.

 

If things are supposed to improve, or evolve with time, why don't we improve as we get older instead of just keeling over and dying?

 

I don't get it.

[Gryph]

Because evolution occurs as a bunch of small steps over a long period of time.

[NeuronMaster]

Even if evolution is true, I'm much more content believing the fantasy that I was created by intelligence greater than my own.

 

My opinion.

[Gryph]

Alright, whatever.

We have been evolving over the last few centuries.........just in minor ways that don't seem significant. There are some things we are not as susceptible to anymore that we were a thousand years ago, and I don't mean diseases that have been erradicated by the use of drugs.

People live longer on average than they did just one hundred years ago, and this is not entirely thanks to medical practices. The average human lifespan is longer period.

 

Plenty of other small insignificant things. You'll never be around to "witness" a major change, they don't occur as a major change.........thats called a mutation lol

You're entitled to your own opinion. Just remember that if it isn't the same as my opinion, your opinion is wrong.

Don't forget how humans have been getting significantly taller over the past few centuries. There's actual proof of that.

 

Anyways, intelligent design is flocking retarded. I'm amazed it was allowed into schools in the first place.
