Hello I'm new here, and I'm going to be as fair as possible so that the administrators don't reject this new thread.
What do you people think about public school boards in Pensylvannia and the state board in Kansas approving scientific standards that would allow a "theory" like intellegent design, which has no scientific hard evidence to challenge evolution, which has over 150 years of research and testing behind it?
Personally, I think that school board officials shouldn't be able to dictate what people learn. I don't want to take a biology final exam in 2007 (I am a resident of Kansas) and have one of the questions be a multiple choice asking "How old is the Earth" and the choices being "6 years old," "60 years old" "600 years old" or "6,000 years old." (By the way, for those of you who don't get it, scientific evidence has proven all of those numbers to be completely false. The Earth is MUCH older than that. Try 4.5 Billion years old.
Well anyway, that's what I think. I will be completely fair and be accepting to replys from almost anybody. (However, if you come on here and say that the world's flat and the Earth is 6,000 years old, don't expect to be treated nicely.) Fair, no?

Welcome to EvC
but first, statements like
(However, if you come on here and say that the world's flat and the Earth is 6,000 years old, don't expect to be treated nicely.)
will simply get you booted out of here quickern a Kansas tornado.
You WILL treat other members here nicely regardless of their beliefs.
You can disagree with their position but you may not attack the person.
Second, the subject is currently being discussed in several threads. Instead of starting yet another thread I suggest that you post responses in some of the existing ones.
Start with Message 1.
At the bottom of this message you'll find links to severaal areas that might make your stay here more enjoyable.
