ID in ninth grade??!

Is it likely that the Pennsylvania bill for intelligent design will be
passed? Probably not.

Right now there are just too many questions about the true intentions
of those who advocate intelligent design, and people are not going to
be willing to risk losing the separation between church and state.


In the Dover Area School District, this sentiment is evident. The
American Civil Liberties Union has filed a federal lawsuit against the
school district for requiring ninth graders to be taught the
intelligent design theory.


Perhaps one day we will be able to figure out a way to teach various
theories of evolution without imposing theological views, because it
really is important for children to be taught with a wide point of
view. But with our country's tendency to create conflict based on
religion, it is difficult to say if that day will ever come.
