ID is also a dead end.ID is terrible theology and it would also mean that science is useless and worthless.If there is some cosmic tinkerer who steps in a creates on whim, we can never know is any science is valid or repeatable.The ID folk point to a very few examples and declare they are designed. When others point to examples of really piss poor design found, and to the generally mediocre at best design that is the norm, the response is "We cannot tell the intent of the Designer."Well, regardless of the intent of the Designer, we can judge the products based our own understanding. Just as when we buy a washer or dryer, we can examine the products and decide which is well designed, which was designed to achieve a price point and which is just junk.A second issue is if we cannot know the intent of the designer, we cannot make predictions on the basis of past history. We have no assurance that the Designer will not step in and decide that plane number two will not fly.I think ID should be taught, taught as an example of silliness.

And exactly what theories are taught as fact?

---

Please read what you post. Note the word "Theory?"Now, do you have an example of theory being taught as fact?

---

Your assertion was that theories are being taught as fact.I still await and example of a Theory that is taught as fact.

---

So you still cannot present a single example of a Theory that is taught as a Fact yet continue to assert that is happening?

Because there is evidence that supports a Big Bang while there is no evidence that supports ID. Before ID can be considered a Theory, there must be a model. So far no one has presented a model for ID.There is no ID theory.

I'm sorry but that is just a pretty silly answer. It does show though that ID is NOT science but rather simply religion in disguise.

Are you as ignorant of Christianity as you are of science?The is no such thing as "The Bible". There are several different Canons with several different lists of what books are in, what ore not. The smallest Canon has only 5 books while the largest Canon has over 80.

LOL, too funny.First you say there is such a thing as "THE Bible", now you say Christianity is not a religion.Then you think I would agree that atheism is a religion?Get serious.Atheism is NOT taught in school that I know of. Buddhism, Hinduism may be taught in either social studies or religious studies, and I would have no problem teach Christianity there either.But non of that has anything to do with ID or teaching ID.

Then why do some Canon (you do know that the only thing that makes something a Bible is Canon don't you? ) contain only the first 5 books of the Bible and other Canon contain over 80 books? Couldn't God make up her mind?The rest of your Yada yada is irrelevant and unimportant.

But you still fail to address the fact that there is no such thing as "The Bible" and instead retreat into some carny spiel. What makes you think I have not attended many such churches of many different flavors of the Christian religion?What bothers me about such places was that the Pastors and Ministers all were so totally ignorant of the faith they were selling.But worry not, I doubt that you can teach me anything about GOD.And the topic is still "What's the problem with teaching ID?"I have said that it should be taught as an example of piss poor science, perversion of the scientific method and terrible theology.

There is the Bible(s) accepted under the Western Canon.But they are not the only Christian Bibles. As I have already explained to you, what makes something a Bible is if it contains those books accepted by a given Canon.That is the only thing that makes something a Bible. Does it contain those books selected under a given Canon?But there is not one Canon, but many, the smallest containing only 5 books, the largest containing over 80.The rest of you spiel is irrelevant and unimportant.

I'm sorry but other than your assertion, do you have anything to support that?You will need some pretty strong support since the evidence clearly shows what you are claiming to be false.But the issue is "What's the problem with teaching ID?"I have stated that I think ID should be taught, if for no other reason to show the implications of such a failed, deadend, worthless method.As I have pointed out before, when we actually look at the world around us, what we see are examples of just barely good enough to squeak by design, Inept Design, Ignorant Design, Inefficient Design, everything BUT Intelligent Design.

Creationists are not just welcomed, they are sought after. The hope is that one day a Creationist of Type 2b will actually be found who can present a Creationist Model that explains what is seen as well as the current models. Unfortunately, no such Creationist has ever been found.
