[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 66336, member: 46"] Re: You're welcome. Mike, As JR suggested, this thread is becoming a waste of time. I don't wish to argue with you, it is clear from the tone of your responses that it is pointless. All I would suggest is that if you put honest effort into exploring issues from an unbiased perspective (have you ever looked into what responses/challenges there are to the issues you raise?) - you might be less one-sided in your responses if you did. You seem be approaching everything as an all-or-nothing deal. All I have attempted to raise in my posts is that things are a little less black and white than some of us might think. There is lots of great research, we have learned a lot, but we have a long way to go. On the topic of our schools, I only WISH that they would think a bit more outside the box in teaching curriculum. If we want bright minds, kids should be taught how to question EVERYTHING, and how to investigate issues in an unbiased manner, considering many views, forming their opinions themselves rather than always assuming the textbook is right. If teachers want to teach intelligent design alongside their existing materials, I have no objection (as long as everything is presented in a fair light - it is soooo easy for personal bias to enter the equation).
