Isn't it great the new laws that we can teach in schools regarding Intellient design and religion. Now we are

Question

on a par with the other unmentionables.

Answer 1

Intelligent design is only a united states oddity - so you must be here in the US.

You are incorrect about a law that allows the teaching of religion. It is specifically forbidden by the establishment clause of the Constitution.

Also - since even you link ID and religion, Jindals mistake in Louisiana will be thrown out by the courts as have all other attempts by the discovery institute to introduce religion into the classroom in the form of a bad idea (ID)

and your phrasing is odd. Where I come from, unmentionables is a codeword for underwear. I can only imagine someone in a giant grape outfit. (US readers know my "fruit-of-the-loom" reference)

Answer 2

You are absolutely right to say that evolutionary theory is just that - a theory.

However.

It is based on empirical study and evidence. It is based on deduction, rational thought and scrutiny of available facts.

Religion (all of them!) is based on superstitious faith regardless of evidence.

Therefore, to claim that religious belief and evolutionary theory are equally valid is ignorant and intellectual immature. Religion is based on nothing other than blind accepting faith. And that's not the same.

The average 'believer' holds on to their dogma regardless of evidence put in front of them. The empirical atheist believes things based on evidence. That is a crucial difference and why arguments that  'atheism is just another form of religion' miss the point entirely. NO IT'S NOT. Atheists can and do change their ideas when presented with good evidence. The religious do not; that is why they are irrational and dangerous and cause so much misery with their dogmatic outlook on life.

Answer 3

Unmentionables is a euphemism for underwear.

It's hard to tell from your "isn't it great" whether you are being sarcastic ... but I'll assume you are.    

Creationists will continue to get gullible school boards and politicians to enact unconstitutional laws, spend gobs of money defending the ridiculous laws (as the Dover school board inflicted on the community of Dover, Pennsylvannia), only to have these laws thrown out on their ear by the courts.

Meanwhile it makes the state in question, and the United States by extension, the laughing stock of the world.

Answer 4

Are you being sarcastic? That doesn't come across in written discourse. Unmentionables??? Sounds like underwear ;o).

Answer 5

Are the unmentionables something to do with Evolutionists ?

Yes, I think it's great that this stuff can now be discussed in schools. After all, evolution is simply someones  idea's and people should be allowed to question them, if it don't fit in with someones way of life then it can be kicked out of that life. I don't see any problem at all, except that these evolutionists seem to want Christians and other one God religions to give up their belief and become evolutionists, which to me is just changing one religion for another.

Answer 6

What country are you from? Sounds like the States, check what country site your on.
