Intelligent Design, yes, another religion related topic Options

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.

I'm sorry, I guess I should have made it clearer.

Calling the course "intelligent design" is noted as a veiled attempt to bring Creationism to public classrooms thus I call it for what it is: Creationism.

“Intelligent design” is defined by the article as the thought that "the universe is so complex that it must have been created by an unspecified higher power" and is supported by many Christians. So unless they--Christians who supports "intelligent design" in the classroom--"serve two masters", like sikdragon like to say, then they must believe that the alien is God.

because its the same as major vs minor parties. majorities always take priority, while minorities are brushed aside. i think it largely depends on what age group is being tought as well. more in depth coverage can be tought in higher level classes, or in schools primarily geared torwards a certain religion. most classes do not cover either creationism or evolution in great depth, so if you shorten them even more, than they may as well not be tought at all because there will not be understanding

So because minorities are so few (sarcastic) in numbers, we should just make it mandatory for them to learn about the belief of others while others remain ignorant about minority beliefs?

Yes, I understand that there isn't enough time to squeeze all that knowledge in one course, why not just not add intelligent design at all? As if people don't learn enough of it or Creationism in the outside world.
