A casual intellectual acknowledgement that a general creator might exist is worthless according to the Bible. How would they know it wasn't some other god. Either they accept Jesus as their savior in their heart or they don't. And wouldn't God know if you simply chose to believe in him out of convenience rather than faith. The demons aren't saved even though they have proof of who the true God is. By trying to sneak intelligent design into schools, they are simply inviting people to attack Christianity rather than spreading the faith.

Can anyone say "soap-box"?

There is a seperation of church and state. Therefore, "spreading the faith" is a moot point regarding schooling. If someone chooses to home school, then you would be able to teach Christianity. But for the rest of the school system, Christianity won't be taught. Unless of course you are in the Catholic school system which will teach the basis of faith and Christianity.

Public schools and universities falsely use evolution to prove that there is no Creator. Since the theory of evolution is here to stay, wouldn't it be better to say that the evolutionary process was part of plan (or intelligent design if you will) of a Creator. Why would you want to teach your children atheism?

Intelligent Design opens a door for students to ask, "And just who might have done this intelligent designing"? Sure, it's not limited to Christianity. Give the learner ALL the options and then let him/her choose. If she chooses Islam over Christianity or evolution, that's her choice for now. But at least, they would have all the philosophical choices, not just evolution (another philosophical choice) forced upon them.

These religious wackos that keep saying evolution is unproven, need to get it through their thick sculls that that is not true. There is not enough time in the day to teach all these corn ball religious beliefs as if they were on equal par with science. They need to teach that crap in church or mythology class, and quit trying to rob kids of a science education! People in this country are dumb enough as it is. http://evolution.berdeley.edu

This evolution/creation debate is a pointless time-waster, for both sides. Schools should acknowledge that there is more than one world-view, and then stay out of it. It isn't their job to teach people their religion- unless they are a private Christian school, of course.

they want to make themselves right, by making everyone else wrong. if they win on intelligent design, where will that end? next they will be teaching kids in school that the world is 6000 years old and dinosaur bones were planted by the devil to fool people into turning away from god.

It would not, salvation is in the process of its last gasp. There is no further hope for salvation anywhere on Earth. All religion is decreasing rapidly The most it increases is about 1% over all population increase. Salvation get over it.

it wont i like to look at it by combining faith and science. its like a science project god did his work early so that he could enjoy while others struggled. when i say this i mean he mae the first cell, but he set it to evolve and stuff so he wont have to mess with it later, yes god made hmans but he made it in a way in which he doent constantly check on us he can set it to evolve at a certain period of time which he did...like an alarm clock. i dont get why ppl just dont see that i mean its not rocket science to think he could have done that.

well .. there has to be e belief in the validity of the bible first of all ... but in all fairness ... evolution is a theory ... at least a couple of theories should be presented instead of pawning it off as the absolute facts ... if one wants to be scientific about it ...
