How's that Work Again?
Now, let's see if we've got this right. Intelligent design is science, and evolution is religious dogma, at least according to the Discovery Institute and John Calvert of the ID Network.
And yet, when religious studies professor Paul Mirecki announced that he would offer a course teaching ID as myth there was an outraged reaction.
Responding to news of Mirecki's class offering Kansas State Senator Karin Brownlee said, we have to set a standard that it's not culturally acceptable to mock Christianity in America.
Now, if ID is science, how does teaching it as myth mock Christianity?
Can anybody help us out, here?
