Well now, considering I made the thread.....I expected it to create discussion on what might actually be taught, as reflected by the questions I put forth. Granted things have evolved beyond that, as they tend to do...evolution and all.

On another level, perhaps more importantly, it's an argument about whether or not a devout religious person should be allowed to hold a position of scientific authority, regardless of his academic achievements or prior record.

No one has questioned the faith of scientists, rather the issue is what an education on ID might actually entail, and so far its not much beyond "God did it". I'm sorry but, trying to move the discussion away from my intended point is not working.

And on yet another level, it's about the absurdity of the election system in the Kansas education system. (Surely this was changed by now...?)

I suppose this is an issue to discuss....but had that been the intent, we have a politics board. Feel free to make a thread there if you are so inclined.

It's not really a topic about ID, and it's certainly not a topic as to whether or ID is better than mainstream evolution theory.

Actually, yes it is. And your attempts to make it otherwise are transparent and feeble.

Honestly, I think we've talked way more about it here than anyone would have thought to put in the science books or course lectures.
