This is the kind of crap you get when Republicans dominate the agenda.

----------------------------

The 6-4 vote was a victory for "intelligent design" advocates who helped draft the standards. Intelligent design holds that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power.

Critics of the language charged that it was an attempt to inject God and creationism into public schools in violation of the separation of church and state.

There is not any separation of church and state clause in the constitution. Separation of church and state is a myth.

Actually I think that it is.

mikesouth · 11-08-2005, 10:07 PM

actually you are wrong

it says that Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

This is the basis of the separation of church and state notion...obviously.

it is further backed up by the fact that churches are tax exempt for this reason.

now it doesn't expressly state a separation but constitutional scholars have long held that separation is exactly the intent and courts have upheld this notion so you can argue it all you like but it is a fact till the courts decide otherwise.

One court rules one way another court rules a different way...that is SOP. The admendment is freely misinterpreted...by courts and by others.

"In addition, the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena."

In addition this is not why they are tax exempt. They are tax exempt because in theory they are a non profit organization.

the line between the church and state has always been very ambiguous to be abided.
