Default Some Thought On Intelligent Design - WAS: OT Is George BushDrinking?

The National Academy of Science has just released a report " Rising Above
The Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter
Economic Future" which includes the need for improving science education.
In reading the executive summary, I did not see a recommendation to dilute
the science curriculum with pseudoscience of any kind, including ID.

No. A materialistic approach to science. You have no
basis for declaring that a materialistic approach to science
implies a materialistic approach to everything.


Then you didn't understand my point. If science is misused to
teach and/or imply that there are natural answers to all of
creation it goes beyond a materiatistic approach to science,
it is proselytizing a materialistic faith. That's what's going on
in public education. That's wrong and it needs to be corrected.


And you don't understand the point--science is a naturalistic (as
opposed to "suernaturalistic") approach to an explanation of the world
which you (following others) have labelled "materialistic" and now use
that as a perjorative to mean what you want it to mean. That's wrong
and needs to be corrected.
