The ACLU fought to have Darwin's theory of evolution in public school?(1925)?

Question

But now prevents Intelligent Design from being thought there?What happened to freedom of speech?Don't they function on tax-payer's money?

Intelligent Design is based on scientific evidence, not religious belief.
Darwinism is based on known falsehoods.

ID has nothing to do with Christianity.

Why was Dembski removed from his position (Baylor University) by Darwinists?

Caroline Crocker qoted in the Washington Post lost her job (George Mason University)Feb 5 2006,for speaking out against Darwinism.

Darwin conceded that the evidence was against him and nothing has changed.

The fossil record offers no evidence of one species evolving into another.

Answer 1

Evil works in all sorts of dark and indecent ways.

Answer 2

"The evidence at trial demonstrates that ID is nothing less than the progeny of creationism"
"The overwhelming evidence at trial established that ID is a religious view, a mere re-labeling of creationism, and not a scientific theory."
"ID’s backers have sought to avoid the scientific scrutiny which we have now determined that it cannot withstand by advocating that the controversy, but not ID itself, should be taught in science class. This tactic is at best disingenuous, and at worst a canard. The goal of the IDM is not to encourage critical thought, but to foment a revolution which would supplant evolutionary theory with ID."
"Accordingly, we find that the secular purposes claimed by the Board amount to a pretext for the Board’s real purpose, which was to promote religion in the public school classroom, in violation of the Establishment Clause."

Answer 3

Intelligent Design isn't science. It is creationism with a fancy name. Also, science is not about democracy and freedom of speech. It is about what is scientifically true at the time. If we had democracy and freedom of speech in our science classrooms, we run the risk of having to teach that the earth is flat as an alternative theory to the spherical earth.

Please leave science to the scientists.

EDiT: Caroline Crocker was dismissed after her contract period expired. She misrepresented the works of many other scientists, and she did not follow directions.

Answer 4

Freedom of speech doesn't apply. In science classes, we teach children science. That means, what is agreed on by the vast majority of the scientific community. We don't teach them religion in science classes; we also don't teach them the latest cutting-edge theories that aren't yet agreed upon by the majority. Evolution, of course, is well-established and supported by every single piece of research published over the last 100 years.

Unfortunately all of your points are false:

"Intelligent Design is based on scientific evidence, not religious belief."
Not according to the law, as laid down by (conservative Christian) Judge Jones in Pennsylvania, who found in the case of Kitzmiller v Dover in 2005 that ID is not science, but religion.

"Darwinism is based on known falsehoods."
Such as? Can you name a single one?

"ID has nothing to do with Christianity."
Not according to the Discovery Institute, the main sponsors of Intelligent Design, whose avowed aim (see the Wedge Document) is to "reverse the stifling materialist world view and replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions."

"Why was Dembski removed from his position (Baylor University) by Darwinists?"
He was not. Although the faculty of both the science and religion departments at Baylor opposed the establishment of Dembski's centre, he was supported by the (Christian) director of Baylor. However he was later dismissed by the same director after he refused to retract an inflammatory press release. Nothing whatever to do with "Darwinists".

Answer 5

Intelligent design pushes a religion. The theory of evolution does not. If intelligent design was presented, would you be willing to let other religions put forth how they believe the world was created?

Answer 6

Taxpayers' money can be used to teach science, not religious dogma. "Intelligent Design" is Creationism in new packaging, not a scientific theory. You couldn't give "equal time" to Creationism if you tried; everything about it can be learned in five minutes reading Genesis.

If we used the Bible as a sourcebook for knowledge, we would still believe in a flat earth.

Answer 7

ID is based on religious indoctrination masquerading as science.

Show me one article supporting ID that has been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

Answer 8

because there is proof that evolution is true where as there is NO proof that intelligent design is!!

Come on now you can't teach religion in class..

Answer 9

Inteeligent design has no scientific basis at all, it's just creationism by another name.

Answer 10

Hmmm, for once I agree with those ACLU commies!
