I don;t have a problem with teaching one;s child what we beleive to be true about these processes. But the debate about intelligent design is about whther the public school system should TEACH it as part of curriculum in a nation where religion and state are separate. Inherent to the ID argument is that there is a 'creator" that made all of this complexity that we cannot explain. teaching this is not very different than creationism.<BR/> I think we can agree that evolution can also be viewed as intelligent design. On matters of religion, we can agree to ;live and let live'. The trouble comes when folks try to impose one spiritual view upon another and have the taxpayers support it. teach religion in Sunday school, science in the classroom. Thats my opinion.Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689786323490572915noreply@blogger.com
