ID in class

when we all say that ID should not be taught in science class (well, we all don't say that, for only one person has stated what should happen on this topic), they are wrong.

We teach plenty of false theories in biology, geology, and astronomy. Like what the geocentric universe was and why its wrong, like what spontaneous generation is and why it is wrong (note, not abiogenesis), like what spontaneous combustion is and why it's wrong.
ID will be included to show why it's wrong as compared to evolution.

Also, Inkorrect made a comment somewhere that this is a free country with a free market, and then he linked this to the need to teach both sides of the debate. Last time I checked, free market has to deal with economics, and specifically captialism, not education.

Re: Links to other site's ID curriculum, if you can

i'm not sure why I'm even responding.

Children will believe anything that is taught.In the public school, they have been taught (brain washed) that Evolution is a fact. The outcome is that our students do extremely poor in Maths and Science

you should recognize those words. They're yours.

Teaching of evolution has nothing to do with the performance in Maths.

Also your words. I've quoted them chronologically.

Please don't tell me I have to show you your own contradiction.

Re: Links to other site's ID curriculum, if you can

that's your new statement, but the switch to this position was without an explanation. Suddenly, you went from saying that teaching evolution leads to poor math scores to not teaching critical thinking leads to math scores. You also never fully explained why teaching evolution leads to bad math scores, and I'm guessing this is why you changed position--you realized what an illogical postion you held was.

Re: waffling.

you know verywell that the foundation of evolution is based purely on Naturalism which is a philosophy and it is not even Science

perhaps you should try learning what philosophy is, Ink. In a nutshell, it is the search for knowledge or truth. Theology is a philosophy. Communism is a philosophy.

Philosophy breaks down into many, many branches. This inlcude, but not limited to, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and science.

Yes, science is a philosophy, based off of methodological naturalism.

quote:
from wikipedia: Methodological naturalism is the belief that observable events in nature are explained only by natural causes without assuming the existence or non-existence of the supernatural

That pretty much sums up what science is and attempts to do. Otherwise we might be trying to disprove the existence of God(s), which you creationists love to assume that that's what we are doing.

All a man's knowledge comes from his experiences
