AMERICAN ATHEISTS MEDIAhttp://www.atheists.org “JUDGMENT DAY: INTELLIGENT DESIGN ON TRIAL” AIRS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2007 ON PBS AMERICAN ATHEISTS encourages you to watch the critically-acclaimed program “JUDGMENT DAY: Intelligent Design on Trial” airing tomorrow night — Tuesday, November 13, 2007 — on the PBS network. This two-hour documentary focuses on the controversy over teaching so-called “Intelligent Design” or ID in public school classrooms as an “alternative” to evolution. It examines the seminal legal test of this practice, the 2005 trial in KITZMILLER, ET. AL v. DOVER SCHOOL DISTRICT where parents sued the Dover, Pennsylvania schools for ordering teachers to read a “disclaimer statement” that there were significant gaps in current evolutionary instruction. The parents argued that despite its scientific vernacular and veneer, “ID” was simply a religious doctrine. The judge in the case agreed. Material and background on the JUDGMENT DAY program are available at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/ . Additional information, including thoughtful articles by biologist Frank Zindler can be found at http://www.atheists.org/evolution/ . We encourage you to urge friends and associates to view this important documentary!

“Remember the christian was in a very real sense trying to rid the world of the honesty that science promotes.”
Beautiful. Well said. You really summed up what’s been going on a long time.
Christians are the enemy of honesty. The creationist school board in Dover, who were voted out of office soon after the trial, were actually trying to force science teachers to lie to their own students about science. The science teachers refused to read the required statement that was full of lies. The TV program showed some school administrator walking into the classroom and lying to the 9th grade students. It was disgusting to watch. I was hoping a student would have stood up and called the man a liar. He deserved to be harassed and yelled at and chased out of the classroom. I just can’t stand Christian liars.
I thought it was humorous when one of the xian scientists representing Intelligent Design stated that astrology was also a legitimate theory.
“xian scientists” You mean “fake scientists”. That was propeller head Behe, the laughing-stock of the entire scientific community. Like every other idiot who works for the Disco Institute, Behe is a professinal liar.

BobC, I’m afraid I may just be the only one! So far, no such luck finding others of like mind, even though I reside in a college town. I’m still out and proud, though! But that’s off topic
“I’m afraid I may just be the only one!”
“I’m still out and proud, though!”
You should be proud. You’re the only person in an entire state who isn’t insane.
I’m related to a few farmers there. South Dakota is god-soaked but I really like that state. Unfortunately the winters there are a bit too much. I once made the mistake of driving to South Dakota from Chicago in the winter and I was lucky to get there alive.
For anyone not convinced Christians are the most stupid people in human history, they should look at what I found below from the American Atheists website. Caution, this might make you sick.
