Wouldn't be it a better idea to provide the students with the Dover trial final decision (or something similar, the list to choose from grows every year) and then have the students for their assignment try and refute it?Of course, they are set up for failure in that way, but if someone would actually write a brilliant essay (from an ID perspective, that is), it might actually help the ID movement in getting where they want to be (in science-classrooms). I mean, that's the kind of thing they do in lawschool, right? So why not use that approach in ID, if they are so convinced of their own ideas?Edited by Dirk, : tyop

Hi Jar, Oh, I don't question your analysis of that question (I replied to you instead of Dr. A., my mistake). My concern was with this one: I have no idea how these religious "universities" operate (there's nothing of the sort in my home country), but I can imagine that prospective students are quite religious anyway and are already convinced of the significance of ID.* So, instead of asking for the obvious, it might be better to use them as an ID "think tank" and have them work on the real-world issues that ID is facing.* As a besides, I would be interested to see how many students drop out of such programs because they become convinced of the fact that they are being taught complete nonsense...

Hi Dawn, No one here was trying to control what should or should not be taught at these institutions. Some well-meant suggestions were made, and a kind invitation by RAZD that their students could come and debate here if they wanted. For the rest, I would say, most participants are probably just ROFLing on this kind of "education"...

Hi Dawn, Are you serious? Let me think, what's that thing called what christians do, you know, going from door to door, trying to influence people in thinking that there is a god? Evangelism, isn't that what it's called?Oh, and you know, they also got that book, I forgot the name, the one with the most copies printed ever (no, not the IKEA catalogue); doesn't that book try to influence people in thinking that there is a god?Me thinks, a "counterfactual presentation" is definitely required! Anyway, in order to stay on topic, you are saying that we are not allowed to comment on the courses that are given in those institutions? I mean, we even gave some suggestions for improvement. Surely that must be appreciated. And even if it's not, I'm sure that all comments were still made in the utmost sincerety, and that no one here was trying to set them up.
