  • Dover redeems itself

    All eight members up for re-election to the Pennsylvania school board that had been sued for introducing the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in biology class were swept out of office yesterday by a slate of challengers who campaigned against the intelligent design policy.

    ...

    The election results were a repudiation of the first school district in the nation to order the introduction of intelligent design in a science class curriculum.
    Good news, hopefully this will send a message to Kansas.

    Considering the fact that most of the anti-science board members were voted out the last time they decided to do this in Kansas, I don't think that msg recieving is something ID supporters do.

      Considering the fact that they're arguing against a model which has been the basis for much of biology over the last 100 years with no new evidence, that's not a surprise.

        Unfortunately, the message fell on deaf ears.

          "I‘d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don‘t turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city,"
          "And don‘t wonder why He hasn‘t helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I‘m not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that‘s the case, don‘t ask for His help because he might not be there,"

            Silly Pat Robertson Says God Has Wrath on Pennsylvania Voters

            Robertson warns Pennsylvania voters of God's wrath

            Eight 'intelligent design' school board members lost election

            "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city," Robertson said on his daily television show broadcast from Virginia, "The 700 Club."

            "And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for His help because he might not be there," he said.

              "God is tolerant and loving, but we can't keep sticking our finger in his eye forever," Robertson said. "If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help them."

                What are you guys whining about? This is great! Robertson just said that if you vote against ID you're voting against God! None of this "ID" isn't creationism mumbo-jumbo now!

                  No honest person ever claimed :intelligent design" was anything but another world for biblical creationism. It has always been nothing more then an attempt to abide by the letter of the law while getting around the intent of the law. ScotUS said saying a Judeo-Christian god created the universe is a religious idea which can't be endorsed by the state so ID is an attempt to replace the word god with an "intelligent designer" who created everything. They hope to sell creationism usingpublic money with just a minor tinkering.

                      I have much less of a problem with somebody saying that God created the Universe than I do with somebody saying that God created every living thing in its present form.

                      The first is merely unprovable. The second requires God to be a ****ing malicious son of a *****.

                            Just about anything that pisses Robertson off makes me happy.

                              Give me free US political insights - just how much influence people like Robertson and the religious right have in US? Is it limited to the Republican party?
