I have been trying to understand what Creationists and Intelligent Design proponents really want.
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.
Admin: I am not sure where this topic fits best.

Would you be willing to express this much more neutrally? You're actually asking what a creationist or ID educational curriculum would look like, and this would go in the [forum=-4] forum, but it might be better to remove the "cdesign proponentist" references and to modify or trim out the negative characterizations. If you edit your Message 1 then just post a short note letting me know you've done so.

Percy, does this work better? I think I have a pretty good idea what their curriculum is. What I really want to know is how it would change America and why they would want that.
