Quote: magicjay38 said: Maybe things have changed since I went to high school, but biology was not a requirement. It was a college prep class. It prepared you for further study at a college or university. I doubt you'll find a lot of controversy in higher ed about evolution in the science departments. Can any of you Christian Soldiers name a major university that offers a degree in biology based on intelligent design? By major, I mean research institutes like Stanford, University of California, USC (a Methodist school), the Ivys, Boston, UNC etc..
Do you think a degree in creation based biology is going to get you that job at Genentech, Chiron or Schering? How many med schools would consider it equivalent training?
What does this have to do with people, making assertions about the "truth" of evolution over the "fallacy" of creationism, not knowing what the hell they're talking about?
Make it an elective for all I care, but the point is that, with the current state of the theory of evolution, Intelligent Design has just as much right to be taught. And furthermore: With the fact that there's no confirmable ties between legitimate biology and the theory of evolution, there's no merit to consort it with the use of the Biology courses.
