The bad thing is that, for science, they have bought into intelligent design in some misguided belief that it is good science and, more importantly, an alternative to the big, bad "E".Jimpithecushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143519573877156940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19722540.post-21621328272975789172013-08-31T08:43:10.778-04:002013-08-31T08:43:10.778-04:00DI books are in school?

Second, who the hell are on these textbook selection committees?<br /><br />As a non-scientist, I have been learning as much as I can from paleontologists, biologists, cosmologists ever since I first found out about the Discovery Institute years ago. It has led me on a journey of excitement to gain an understanding of our origins. It has been enlightening, and I owe it to the DI for shaking my complacency in thinking that I had a good grasp of how evolution works in its myriad processes. I love this, and it frustrates me to no end that intelligent people such as those who work for DI would rather gloss over, deny, lie and rework basic science concepts in order to achieve a political goal when they could be expending their effort towards a better understanding.<br /><br />Mike Haubrichnoreply@blogger.com
