Re: Deja Vu - The feeling this topic's been reopened before
Hi DB,
I agree that the introduction of the miraculous or a specific religion into church and state matters is probably not going to fly. They should not expect, nor should they be disappointed when they are rejected
Agreed. In fact, I don't suppose that they ever expected to succeed.
To make it clear, I think ICR is on the right track, they simply need a little fine tuning. The tuning would simply be that they present creation from the standpoint of design exclusively.
That won't work either. The Dover vs. Kitzmiller ruling makes it clear that, as far as US law is concerned, ID is simply another form of creationism. That means that the courts will deem an ID based course to be just as religious as an explicitly creationist one.
You are free to disagree with that all you want (on another thread) but from a pragmatic point of view, emphasising design won't help ICR's case.
