Defend Science
Hi All,
Did anyone watch the documentary last night on SBS regarding the court case in America bought against supporters of Intelligent Design, who were seeking to have it taught in schools.
Many of these supporters, while under oath committed purgery. Much of their case involved quoting, completely out of context, certain mainstream professionals and experts in their fields.
The judge in his final ruling found that Intelligent Design had no basis in science, that it was entirely based on certain religious dogma. He ruled that it should not be taught in schools. He also recommended further proceeding against some of the Intelligent Design supporters for purgery.
I consider myself a man of science but I am also a Christian. When I see elements such as in this case, twist the facts to suite their own ends it really sickens me. The judge in this case had to be put under 24 hr protection due to the death threats he received following his ruling. This would seem to be a sad statement on the state of mind of some Americans.
I would hope that most of the people on this forum would defend science at every opportunity against such blatant disregard of truth and reason.
Regards
Trevor
