To StormanNorman: Socialism is the religion. The THEORY of Evolution is a tenet of that religion as is global warming, equal distribution of the wealth, and so on.

From StormanNorman: It is based upon discovery, observation, experimentation, and extrapolation....unlike true religious faith.

To StormanNorman: Darwinians base their OPINIONS on the foundations you’ve listed. Global warming true believers use the same designer-science methods to predict an outcome that suits their sect of the socialist religion. All Socialists, regardless of their sect, believe in socialism. Religious faith is the same with or without a supreme God.

From StormanNorman to kgpoolerev in # 14 permalink:

Teaching any religious faith or belief as a myth would also be a violation of the Separation of Church and State. And, second, so you want to include faith-based teaching in public schools... OK, whose faith do we teach?

To StormanNorman: Keep them all out ——including socialism/communism —— or let them all in. In the present education structure, the only thing that needs to be settled is where tax dollars will be spent teaching Intelligent Design? If not in biology, than in social studies, or philosophy, just so long as the same amount of tax dollars is spent on both disciplines.

Incidentally, the Theory of Evolution does not identify the Prime Mover nor does Intelligent Design prove that God is the prime mover. The theory simply argues that a Prime Mover must exist.
