the Centrist

The courts have decided … it is unconstitutional to teach Intelligent Design (ID) in public schools … or so says Federal Judge John E. Jones and virtually every editorial board in the land. The Bush II appointee stated: “The overwhelming evidence at trial established that ID is a religious view, a mere re-labeling of creationism, and not a scientific theory”. Thus, we are to believe that the ID Theory has not been rejected because it is false, but because it agrees with the bible. With that line of reasoning can anything in the bible be taken seriously by our society? His unscientific conclusion after a 139 pages could have been stated in one sentence: If anything agrees with scripture it cannot be taught in Public Schools … even if it is Truth. In a free society education’s goal has always been to impart Truth. But Jurist Jones was not after the advancement of education or science, he was more interested in an agenda. Predictably, he never accurately reflects the Theory of ID in those 139 pages, nor does he comment on which theory is best supported by the evidence left by fossils and biochemistry. Even to the casual observer, once ID is understood, the preponderance of facts and scientific evidence resides on its side. Jones, rather than attempt to discern Truth or what was in the best interest of the students, based his decision on the motive of the already defeated school board. It is nothing less than oppressive not to allow children a choice, an alternative to the flawed Theory of Evolution.
In his 139 pages Jones never addresses the embarrassing inconsistencies in the Theory of Evolution. A few of these problems are: evidence (proof) of evolution in the: design of the single cell, design of DNA; irreducibly complex systems like the flagella in single celled organisms or the woodpecker’s tongue; the uniqueness of this planet in placement, atmosphere, and water; the evolution of gravity, motion, light, sound, and mass … not to mention the evolution of organs which respond to these stimuli; and perhaps the most damning is the fossil, geologic, cosmologic, and biochemical records. The ID side states that both are theories and students should be exposed to an alternate possibility and allowed to choose … evolutionists are anti-choice and insist that they teach the Truth, yet have no hard evidence to support their belief. That is the definition of faith, not science, in any other arena.
In a society which claims a First Amendment right for our students to listen to music containing the “N” , “V”, “S”, and the infamous “F” words, to name but a few, why will we not allow students to hear an alternate theory of how the universe began? Is the Truth to be censured just because it agrees with the general aspect of a Creator God? Consequently, while your minor children pollute their minds with bigoted and obscene musical lyrics as well as a free pass into everything pornographic and or anarchistic via access to the internet in most public schools … they are not allowed to hear an alternate theory to the demonstrably wrong Theory of Evolution. Does that make sense?
There are only three things the Supreme Court has ruled illegal in this matter for tax supported schools: “The State cannot require prayer, Bible reading, or religious training” (key words here are require). It is time to realize that to allow an alternate theory is to shine the light of Truth on Political Correctness (PC). The Theory of Evolution stands as the foundation for the atheistic philosophy of humanism with the idea that we are “Post Modern” and that our society is ever changing, evolving if you will. In their brave new world, the PC conclude there is no ‘right’, there is no ‘wrong’ … there is only ‘understanding’. But what they don’t tell you is that ‘we the people’ are not deemed ‘evolved’ enough to ‘understand’. .. only the PC Police and their activist jurists have that right. Therefore, we are forced to stand by in our ‘ignorance’ and allow them to dictate. So it has become common place that activist judges, appointed by conservatives and liberals alike, interpret the Constitution as they wish and they, not the people, redefine our society, i.e. marriage, music, pornography, sex education, prison terms, immigration, assisted suicide, gun laws, etc. We must depend on ‘them’ for interpretation and their interpretation changes from time to time and district to district. Furthermore, while we are forced into the ‘fact’ that choice is a Constitutional Right in abortion, we are told that it is illegal in the teaching of the origin of the universe. Thus, to have allowed ID would have allowed the innocence of the child to stand by and point at the folly of the erudite, not unlike that child of lure. The child’s infamous king and his minions had been convinced that the new regal wardrobe was visible only to the erudite. Hence, the king proudly paraded himself without clothing in front of his people basking in the false compliments of his court. But when a very innocent, yet logical, young boy pointed and exclaimed that the king was naked the Truth was revealed. Thus, the boy exposed more that the kings naked body, he exposed his regal foolishness … just as this decision has exposed more than the ignorance of this activist judge, it has exposed his agenda. They so fear the intellect and logic possessed in the mind of the child that they would rather oppress it than develop it.
