Intelligent Design

[Dark Virtue]

Many teachers (most from my experience...and I am a school teacher so I no many) teach Darwinism as fact.

What exactly do you teach? LOL, sorry, couldn't resist

I agree that ID falls more under philosophy than science...but so does Darwinism the way it is taught today.

Then it's being taught incorrectly, end of story.

Did the aliens come about through macro evolution before they genetically engineered us?

Does it matter? You can't explain where God came from, can you? Such is the problem with infinite regression.

If I remember right you already addressed this question about ID...where did the designer come from?

That's the infinite regression problem.

Neither of those options can be tested using the scientific method...so we are back where we started scientifically speaking.

Why couldn't genetic engineering be subject to the scientific method?

ID has as much scientific evidence for it as macro evolution does...since there is no scientific evidence for macro evolution.

So you're saying that there's NO scientific evidence for ID?

I do agree with you DV on micro evolution being scientific.

YAY!

I agree with you wholeheartedly on the terrible way Darwinism is taught in school.

YAY part deux!

Actually I am a creationist who was forced to teach evolution. I feel that I did a very good job of teaching it. The biggest difference that I see between the way I taught it and the way my collegues did is this;

I taught it as a theory and left open possibilities for other answers to the question of our origin. I made it clear that theory does not mean fact. I did not force creationism on them (which is against the law). However, I did allow them to have discussions that involved both creationism and evolution. The students will bring this up on their own...they don't need a teacher to do it for them

I'd like to see theists teach evolution and atheists teach ID

It is incorrect to say that there is NO evidence for Macro evolution. There is insufficient evidence for it to be proven, but that's different.
