Darwin vs. God in PA court

[rockytriton]

As much as I hate to start another thread about this, I thought people may find this interesting. Some parents in PA (in the US) are suing the school for talking about AD in a biology class. Here's a link:

Here's another link I found on MSN about the same thing.

Interesting reading. I have my own feelings about this, but would relish the opportunity to discuss the implications of any court outcome here in our own little corner of the web.

Fire away!!

Imagine how much more scientifically advanced and more socially accepting that US would be if some great flood just happened to destroy the whole midwest. God forbid of course

Who wants to make a bet on who wins?

I'd bet a cookie ID does. I also say it's rigged from the start.

I don't know about that, PA is a blue state right?

[IrishEyes]

The judge was a political appointee, correct? That seems just a tad suspect to me as well. But then again, finding 11 families in the middle of PA that are willing to go to the ACLU and complain that ID is being taught... that also made me go "Hmmmmmmmmm", if you know what I mean. I think the whole thing smacks of a huge set-up, but I'm not quite sure which side is the guilty one.

I wonder if any of the true believers in this country who vote actually realize that most of the politicians who use religion as a part of their campain are really just using them to get votes and could really care less about God. I mean, does George W. Bush even go to church? Do ANY of the Bushes go? Not from what I've heard.

Here's some more on the subject, an ex-physics teacher testifies:

An excerpt:

"My 14-year-old daughter had to make the choice between staying in the classroom and being confused ... or she had to be singled out and face the possible ridicule of her friends and classmates,"

I think that's being a bit dramatic. Not like she would be the first 14-year-old girl confused in a physics class. Nor would she be the first 14-year-old girl to face possible ridicule from her friends and classmates.
