ID and Science Classes

[swamidass (S. Joshua Swamidass)]

And historically, ID has always been about getting into science class. Hopefully that will change in the future, especially as they become more engaged with theology, and more upfront about their religious motivations

Not true also. We do not think ID should be taught in the classroom. Here is the policy:

@swamidass

So, I do know that ID leaders were opposed to the Dover Trial in 2005, and the actions of the school board that caused it. I believe that is true. So let’s let that go.

However, did the Discovery Institute not orchestrate the Kansas Board Hearings in 2005 at the same time? What was the purpose of those hearings, if not to change curriculums? Didn’t those hearings include a parade of ID arguments?

@swamidass

Maybe @johnnyb and @Agauger (and the rest of the ID people here) need to get on the same page at some point. Right now, the statement @Agauger seems to be specifically calling for ID to be put in science classes, and that seems to be exactly how it is being read by ID advocates too. I’m not sure what the problem is with me just pointing this out. Isn’t it common knowledge?

So…clearly this whole discussion is difficult. Now that we have established that @Wayne_Rossiter is still part of the ID movement, perhaps he can shed some light.
