[After suggesting ID be taught in science classes, and being told "Is it not enough to teach Creationism/ID in your churches and in your homes?"]
Is it not enough for you to teach science in your churches and in your homes? Why should it be taught in our schools?

I'm with you, Sandman. JohnR7 will never say anything even sightly intelligent, and quite frankly, I grow rather weary of him.
we could transcribe this guys laundry list and it would still read like the ravings of Pat Robertson's rectal polyps.
"Is it not enough for you to teach science in your churches and in your homes? Why should it be taught in our schools?" SCIENCE
Yes, we probably need a JohnR7 benchmark and only submit something when he unwittingly surpasses his own standards of idiocy, even if his everyday ramblings really do fit the bill.
I've personally never attended a science class at my church, and the most science I got from my folks was not to mix different kinds of cleaning products because they could react. Gee, I'd be in pretty bad shape if I didn't have half a dozen classes in school!
Finished it.
I fear for science. If the US is the world leader in science, how come there are so many scientific illiterate fucktards in that country?
Wolf, it's the sheer numbers of the population that work in our favor for absolute number of Nobel laureates, but the stupid ones have always outnumbered them; they just don't tend to call as much attention to themselves by getting awards -- well, not until FSTDT, that is!

Don't forget the banana, the atheist's nightmare!
well, to me , schools are the church of science. Its where children learn to think logically, work carefully and record what they did and what happened.
Show me a tested scientific theory of intelligent design, some of its predictions and I will consider allowing into a science class. No Dembskis maths attempts dont count.
Since ID at the moment seems to say DNA was designed therefore all life that uses DNA was also designed it doesnt leave much room for study.
Hey John, IF there were science churchs then we'd expect them to operate like yours. RIGHT? So it would be being told about evaporation, 20 times a year, being informed of basic germ theory, 30 times a year, being educated in addition and subtraction, 10 times a year YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. The shit you heard as a shiny-eyed youth is the SAME shit you hear today.
Schools build on earlier knowledge, churchs just feed you the same shit repeatitivly from cradle to grave.
Even if some sects of religion accept evolution, they don't teach it in sermons.
It's not the purpose of churches to teach science, and it's not the purpose of schools to teach religion.
And schools exist so that kids don't have to be taught everything at home.
If we left Science to the teaching of parents in home kids would probably think mammoths still exist, and not know the Sun is a star. Ok I may be giving them too little credit, hell they probably wouldn't even know cell theory.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
