Intelligent Design, yes, another religion related topic Options

[Spirited Away]

PA school board says it's okay to teach Creationism, or "intelligent design".

Funny thing is people, that they say "it's not fair to teach kids one thing, but not another" and that they wanted a "balanced representation".

Now then, I ask you where is balance in teaching Creationsim, without teaching what Buddha teaches, what Mohammed teaches, what Hindu gods teach?

Don't get me wrong, I do believe in Creationism to a certain extent so I would not mind taking the course. I only wanted to point out how silly these people are for coming up with such a problematic arguement.

Well, the majority of the people in this country are undoubtedly Christian, even though I agree.

I do not think that "intelligent design" should be taught at all. They're just trying to put a fancy name on something that's religious and requires faith. There's NO WAY you can prove that a higher being created all of this, like with a flick of a wand. I'm not saying that you can easily prove evolution, or else there wouldn't be so much debate on it, but evolution is purely secular and is appropriate for a public school classroom.

Where it should belong though, is in a world religions class, though. Not in a science class.
