Ivy League professor addresses conflicts between science, religion

Abstract:
Since Charles Darwin first put forth his theory of evolution, a fierce debate has emerged between supporters of Darwinism and creationism. A biology professor at Brown University, however, claims that science and religion can coexist.

Karyotypes and meiosis clearly disprove evolution.Integrated functions of chromosomes require inheritance of complete and original karyotypes-clearly disproving evolution.

THERE WAS NEVER ANY SUGGESTION EVER OF HAVING A TEXTBOOK IN THE CLASSROOM ON ID. THE ID BOOK WAS ALWAYS IN THE LIBRARY. HAVE NO CLUE WHERE YOU GOT YOUR INFO FROM.

"In the case, the court found it unconstitutional for the city of Dover, Penn. to force its students to learn from a textbook supporting intelligent design rather than evolution."


Not to defend the Dover school board's policy, but this implies that the Board tried to "force students to learn from a textbook supporting intelligent design." As far as I am aware, this is not the case. Students were forced to listen to a statement that called evolution "a theory" and that said such a textbook was available in the library.

YES, the books were to be used in the classroom. Why else would 60 copies have been "donated"? Oops, I mean solicited for funds from the church, purchased by a former boardmember/father of boardmember, then lied about as to where the money came from? This case was tried and decided. The board's motives were shady from moment one.

It may be a bit strong to say "forced," but the facts of the matter clearly establish that the board in Dover wished kids would NOT learn evolution, but would learn something else closer to their religious views (which I do not characterize as Christian).

When the school board tells students that the material they are learning is probably wrong, isn't that forcing a view on them?
