What scares me is that the proponents of ID, the Creationists, are running the country. Moreover, if Genesis is true, why do religious people bother sending their kids to school science classes?

[Paomnnehal]

I totally disagree with this creationist. I wouldn't want Genesis to be taught along side evolution. She wants to feed lies. FSM is the one and only true god. We should teach the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster not Genesis.

Interviewer: "President Bush has has suggested that the theory of intelligent design should be taught in schools..."

Now, there's an oxymoron!

[evb4mvp]

what an idiot she is. creationism is a lie and a misrepresentation of science. idc if your religious but if you try to force t on us then be prepared for the absolute worst.

[kmud911]

scary, no other major country in the world would endorse or even discuss any such religious teachings in school.

[lifelongfiction411]

not to mention the founders of ID would not defend it under oath. i wonder why...

[lifelongfiction411]

thats the dumbest thing i've ever heard. evolution is a scientific fact supported by evidence. thats why it is taught in schools. should children be taught that a giant ham sandwich created the universe, simply because unintelligent people believe it to be true? no, because thats ridiculous. your religion is no different and will never be taught in schools as long as intelligent people are breathing.

She is shameless and it'd be laughable if it weren't bone-chillingly scary...

This is a basic argument between "philosophically" speaking deteriationists and recyclationists. Evolution is basically a more sophisticated approach at reincarnation. It basically trys to say that every thing exists by recycling itself over and over again through evolution.

Followers of Charles Darwin's early theories have made his theories into a religion of their self. They have made Darwin into their God by saying any disrespect of his ideas is a sin.

THINK!

Yep the same old arguments over and over again. Its like hearing a broken record. And people wonder why I ban creationists from commenting on my videos
