Science vs. Religion-Education in America (Dover Case)

ID-'Not science': Judge John E. Jones
That would be Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, in which parents in Dover, Pa., took the school board to court over an attempt to make intelligent design part of the science curriculum.

During six weeks in September and October last year, Jones heard wide-ranging testimony featuring legal precedence introduced from dozens of court cases, including from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Then Jones wrote a 139-page decision that made broadcast headlines within 15 minutes of release at 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 20. He concluded from the evidence that intelligent design is creationism repackaged—not science. Making it part of a public school science curriculum would be a violation of the U.S. Constitutions establishment clause, which bars an alliance between church and state.

I like this ANCHOR!!!

Religious people have 2 golden rules:

1. Ignore all rational thought

2. When forced to face rational thought, refer to rule 1

There is much more to be done, all around the world, but the US really has a lot of catching up to do. That this was taken to court is ridiculous!

@FreeeeS The best I've seen so far on U.S television.

“There should be no dogmas in schools, evolution is a dogma” yeah right….

"Dogma is the established belief or doctrine held by a religion, or by extension by some other group or organization. It is authoritative and not to be disputed, doubted, or diverged from, by the practitioners or believers."

Evolution, we find new evidence, we adapt/change the theory

Creationnism/intelligent design bullshit, no evidence, no change, gawd did it, burn in hell…

@Gehgevgolol no...

[Gehgevgolol]

I'm saying this even though I think the theory of evolution has more evidence than creationism.

[Gehgevgolol]

Its true that religion has almost no evidence backing it up however when a piece of evidence, scientific evidence comes up supporting creationism, it should not be over looked. The only way our society can advance is if we take found evidence and seriously debate the facts to come to a conclusion. If we didn't we would still believe that the earth is flat. (although if evidence supporting the earth being flat comes up it should be taken seriously).
