Guest tv tanned Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Having watched part of last night's Horizon show, we should probably be worried that people are willing to believe the concept of intelligent design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ID is NOT science - it should be kept in the RE classes and discussed as theology and not as a scientific theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 "And yes kids, the earth is flat......"This shit won't fly here. The latest mass hysteria to keep the country politically correct will ensure this. PC isn't a particularly nasty term! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did provoke a lot of discussion and animation in a class that was otherwise looked upon with dread, so it was definitely a worthwhile thing to discuss there. (Even though we did rip it to shreds, even then). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
