Hello
Well, anyway, let's get underway. Throughout a domain like the internet, I find all kinds of people to talk to. Are you a creationist, or do you accept the theory of evolution? What denomination/religion do you follow if you are a creationist? What do you think is the general opinion on this matter among your peers. On the recent decisions that the Kansas Board of Education has made, yay or nay? Some say that science is too general, and needs to be "expanded" to include more unorthodox ideas such as intellegent design. However, others counter that by saying that intellegent design is not a theory, merely an untestable hypothesis where it's only "evidence" is that which evolution does not explain. Also though, some people say exactly the same thing about evolution!
I'm very curious to hear what the public has to say about this issue. Another thing that I want to talk about is the Kansas Board of Educations other policies on Sex Ed. I don't know if this qualifies for this forum, but it's related to Evolution v. Creationism in this way: The K-State Board of Ed. is considering also adapting a policy in which Sex Ed. would be a directly optional class, where kids have an option to "opt-in" rather than "opt-out." Here's the oninon: There have been hints that if they are successful with pushing this, they may try to make it so biology classrooms that do not discuss intellegent design would be open to the same policy. So, if you want to learn about evolution, you have to specify so, and let it go through the bureacracy. I personally think their ultimate goal is to remove evolution from public schools, but what do you think?
