    Re: Examples?
    You were asked to sign a statement indicating your opinions. ANd whether your opiniosn are in line with those of the ID movement - which the document is being used to support is certainly relevant. I don't think you can reasonably dismiss that with a claim that it "doesn't matter".
    Even if Behe is not a creationist (something that is not certain) most of the ID leadership consists of creationists. The only ID textbook Of Pandas and People started life as a creationist textbook - substituting "intelligent design" for "creation" - even the definition of "intelligent design" is the definition previous drafts used for "creationism".
    Given that ID has no curriculum and no texts to teach the surprising thing is not that they changed their views on including ID in science classes, but that they actually intended to include it in the first place - before they had anything to teach. Dembski even wrote an article (in July 2002) arguing that ID needed to be included in the classroom http://www.designinference.com/...ents/2002.07.Mike_Gene.htm
    The I movement is not interested in improving science teaching. They want to shape it closer to their own ends. Thus they want to change the teaching of only some parts of science - even though your points apply equally well to all science. And singling out some parts of science hardly addresses your concerns. Worse they want to add assertions critical of evolutionary science whether they are true or not.

    Abuse of "Links and Information" forum, closing topic
    The "Links and Information" forum is not a debate forum.
    There is a debate topic at "Discovery Institutes's "400 Scientist" Questionaire".
    For some bizare reason, copy and paste isn't working for me. I'll try to get a URL in there later.
    Closing time.
