Ben Stein's new movie got me thinking about the whole evolution and creationism debate and public schools. Personally, I am a Christian but I do believe in evolution, which is more common than a lot of people would have you think. As for intelligent design, I suppose I actually do believe in it, as I think that it was God's intention for humans to evolve as we did.
In my opinion, the evolutionists presented a very silly, shallow argument. They were arguing that evolution should be taught solely, without any teaching about other theories. In this way, they were really arguing that only their way of thinking should be taught. This is not a principle that this nation was built on.
“Intelligent Design on Trial” by Larry Witham
This article is about the court trial between an evolutionist and the rulings of a school board to allow Supreme Design to be mentioned in class when evolution is being taught.
An analysis of the article, “Biologist and Believer – correcting muddled thinking,” by Andrew Szebenyi:
As an agnostic, I think that parents who teach their children that Creationism (Earth is only 6-10,000 years old, dinosaurs died in Noah's flood, etc.) are hurting our society as a whole. They are ensuring that there will exist an ignorant section of the populace who will deny all scientific evidence for evolution for years to come.
Let me tell you a story. This is a story about how God was born. Everything has a beginning - yes, even God. So gather around, boys and girls, and listen closely.
