If their motion is altered even by a fraction, it will affect the weather pattern of our planet.Life will become extinct if the temperature shifts outside the norms. Our planet maintains the necessary conditions so that plant and animal life will be sustained. I refer you to a message I posted elsewhere. It included the following:

Heh. That's just exactly the article I thought of when I read inkorrekt(again)'s comment.
Glad to see it's back in the public realm, as I had an old bookmark to it when it first came out. Thanks.

Like plate tectonics, or organic chemistry, or observations of quasars, or how airplane wings give lift had to be . These are not difficult. They are already available from Beka Publications. However, these are based on creation. ID has no problem with Real Sciences like Physics, Chemistry, biology and mathematics. They should be available.I am sure there are people working on this. As far as peer review and publications are concerned, any publication in scientific journals on ID is next to impossibility. For example, a paper got published in a prestigious journal and the editor who approved this got reprimanded and the policy has changed(not to publish anything related to ID). We live in free country. There is competition and free market everywhere except in Education. Here again, it is selective. Regarding teaching Science,there was a recent news article: A Science teacher showed an antiamerican video in a Tax funded public School in a Science class. There was an outcry from the parents. The parents were informed that action was taken only to pacify the parents. The teacher is still enjoying his freedom to teach non academic subjects in Science classes. Non academic subjects can be taught everywhere whereas any challenge to Evolution is not allowed. In the prevailing situation, any text book on ID may never be approved in public Schools. That is understandable. The only places where it can be taught is in private schools. This message has been edited by inkorrekt, 04-15-2006 01:26 PM

Cite for that assertion about the change in policy? I'm familiar with the situation in question and it's my recollection that the editor was admonished for violation of a policy that was already in place; that is, you couldn't cherry-pick the review jury for your own little pet paper, or promote a paper whose connection to the mission of the journal was tenuous at best. There's no flat-out "no ID" policy at that journal or any other; such a policy would be all but unenforceable in the first place. What constitutes an "ID paper", anyway?

Link?
This is the closest news article I can find that bares any resemblence to inkorrekt's story. (hunting around google.news). As you can tell from the actual story, it is quite different from inkorrekt's version of things, so it might be the case that the story I found was not the story inkorrekt meant. However, I'd have thought that two similar cases happening at a similar time might draw comment from some, but I find no such linkage to another story.

schrafinator writes: I would actually say that the ID/Creationist explanation is simplistic rather than simple. I'd say that it's not even an explanation. Here:A few years ago I was doing a high-speed run down the center lane of a 5 lane road in my Firebird. (2 lanes in each direction plus a center "turn only" lane.) I fishtailed it, did a 180, and ended up squirting between two oncoming cars while going backwards at 90mph. "I meant for that to happen." Does that explain anything? I don't think so.Same goes for an IDist taking something that happened and saying, "Some intelligent being meant for that to happen."

Thanks Mod
I just find claims like that strange so i wanted some real info since sometimes people do tend to read them a certain way

What constitutes an "ID paper", anyway? Any paper that is antithetical to the theory of evolution and which does not invoke God.

quote:So you admit that ID doesn't even have a stated hypothesis? Just a claim to the default position. If every last part of the Theory of Evolution were to be proven categorically wrong tomorrow, it would not lend a single particle of support to Intelligent Design. If ID is science it must stand or fall on its own merits. Before you get anywhere you have to come up with something better than we have now. Admit it...ID isn't even bad science. It's just a smokescreen for dominionists who are so insecure in their own faith that they cannot reconcile God and the world with their eyes open. Even if we allowed you to lie to the kids and tell them that Darwin was all wrong, what actual scientific basis do you have that will justify allowing you to suggest to our children that an intelligent designer is responsible for life and organic diversity? When science and the Bible differ, science has obviously misinterpreted its data. - Henry Morris, Head of Institute for Creation Research

Children will believe anything that is taught.In the public school, they have been taught (brain washed) that Evolution is a fact. The outcome is that our students do extremely poor in Maths and Science. On the other hand, in private schools and even home schools where they teach CRITICAL THINKING, students do far better in MAths and Science when compared to the brain washed students in the public schools.Why is this?

baseless claim, science classes teach what is considered the theory that science has shown to be correct
. The outcome is that our students do extremely poor in Maths and Science. On the other hand, in private schools and even home schools where they teach CRITICAL THINKING, students do far better in MAths and Science when compared to the brain washed students in the public schools.
another baseless claim, and a non sequitur at that! Could it be that rather than evolution be at fault it could be a general disintrest in science and math? Rather than blaming something that doesn't have anything to do with how education works, you could understand a fundimental problem with education.that is, people do not want to have progress or teach children things they do not understand, that includes evolution, physics, higher maths and better understanding of english. that is why public schools are terrible not because of some theory but peoples overall fear of science as for private schools, they have more free-rein with students and not as many ignorent parents, so you can stop with this baseless arguement home schooled children can be as stupid as public school children if the teacher is a moron too, and critical thinking is non-existant there too
Why is this?
ignorant parents, and school boards that crumble to them This message has been edited by ReverendDG, 04-30-2006 08:29 PM

Leaving aside your totally insulting and unsubstantiated claim of brainwashing in public schools, you arejust plain wrong in your conclusion that the cause of poor performance is due to teaching evolution.
To add to what ReverendDG said ... Private schools can also dismiss students that don't meet the academic standards, public schools can't and end up with the private school cast-offs. This biases and skews the data on education.
in private schools ... students do far better in MAths and Science ... assuming for the purpose of analysis that your claim here is based on some valid evidence in some schools somewhere (I haven't seen it) ... (1) How does teaching evolution impact the education in math? Evolution has nothing to do with math education, so there should be no correlation to performance in math education. (2) Private schools that teach evolution (the non-religious ones eh?) have no such correlation with poor performance in maths and sciences. For your conclusion to be valid (that teaching evolution is the cause of poor grades) then both (1) and (2) should NOT happen. They do. Thus your conclusion is totally invalid.
