Prominent scientists in Australia have gone on the front foot down here in Oz, writing an open letter to all newspapers stressing the importance of keeping science in the lab and theology in Religious Education classroom.

ID seemed to be going down with barely a whimper down here, unfortunately it got a rocket in the form of endorsement from the Federal Education Minister, Brendan Nelson.

I think that common sense will prevail here and we can go on as normal without letting these fruit loops try to dumb down our children.

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

I would want the IDiots to actually name these "enormous, significant problems in the evolutionary history".

The executive director of Focus on the Family Australia and an intelligent design supporter, Colin Bunnett, said comparing the theory with spoon-bending and aliens was extreme and puerile. Intelligent design was asking scientific, not hypothetical, questions about the theory of evolution, he said.

"Please Mr Evolutionist, give us your answer as to how it happened and if you can't then how are you proving it?"
LOL!
Their stupidity would be amusing if wasn't for their ambitions and political influence.
No understanding of science whatsoever!
