The world is full of terrible things and it may seem absurd to be shocked by the state of science teaching more than by war and famine or any of the more obvious candidates. But I was more shocked by the report showing that a significant minority of British science teachers can't see anything much wrong with creationism tha (Read More)

: Granted, this is a much different issue here in the states, but the issue is still something we will deal with more in the coming years. I think that eventually the question has to come down to this, how would these Christian families react if we started teaching children all the various creationist theories? What if we brought in the Muslim creation story, taught the Native American creation story, the Buddhist, the Shintoist, and on and on down the line?To me this isn't so much about teaching creationism as it is an attempt by Christian fundamentalists (yep, I'm gonna go there) to bring only their view alongside the theory of evolution (which I personally loathe to see called Darwinism). What about all the others? @michaelfidler, @homosuperior, @thekookfringecom, @jasongoldberg, @thomaspower and anyone else I'm leaving out, i would be very interested to hear your thoughts on this issue.

: I still don't see what the establishment clause has to do with whether or not ID, or creationism, or any of the other crackpot ideologies about the origin of the world, should be taught in schools _as science_. If it passes muster as science, then teach it, by all means. If it doesn't, put it somewhere else. Comparing evolution to creationism sounds like an interesting discussion, and might even belong in a science class, a _philosophy_ of science class. Putting them on equal footing as scientific theories? Well, that's basically called lying.

Who really owned the comments... the original poster or the aggregation site that "stole them away" was one of the biggest small-time blog wars on the Web in 2008. Whether bloggers were complaining about seeing comments and conversation moved from their blog and instead taking place on FriendFeed, Socialmedian or Shyftr, or (Read More)
