I just do not understand what vision they have of the future the U.S., if they are successful and their odd view of science education becomes the law of the land. Would science classes end up consisting of the kind of materials that are on display in the various creation/ID so-called “museums” i.e. dinosaurs and humans co-existing? These seem to ignore all the evidence, observations and conclusions that scientists have labored to use to describe the natural world for the past 150 years, so I assume none of that will be included in the science curricula.
So let us try to imagine what America is like 20 years after the creation/ID science curriculum becomes the law of the land.
So the question is what education will look like in 20 years if creo\ID proponents get their way.
Let's cut to the chase and assume that the teaching of evolution is banned (whether it is valid or not -- just for the sake of the argument), the question is what has replaced it?
What do you teach in biology?
ID claims to be scientific, so there would have to be some kind of science involved.
What would that science look like?
If science is redefined in the process what would that definition be?
Finally, how would you validate the reality of the concepts?
Note that you can't teach that evolution is false or that there are controversies involving evolution, because evolution has been banned from education.
What do you teach?
Enjoy.
