[...] St. Lucie County: school board members Carol Hilson and John Carvelli either want intelligent design taught or wouldn’t object to it being taught if the community wanted it. Reported in the Palm Beach Post Dec. 31. (Contact information on both here.) [...]

Hey look, it’s chistensen.

I think he eventually got himself banned at the KCFS forums for trolling there.

Well done on the letter. Our local races here in KS haven’t really started heatin gup yet (actually, no one has officially filed in any local or state school board races that I’m aware of).

But you can be sure we at KCFS will be doing our best to keep an eye on things and educate the public.

Cheers,
Lane, VP, KCFS.

Just don’t start equate science with atheism, as per Dawkins or his hanger on PZ.

Methodological Materialsim is not Philosophical Materialsim.

Your ignorance is shouting so loudly that I can’t hear what you’re saying.

Good luck trying to teach the public the difference between the general usage and scientific usage of “theory.” I tried to teach my mother the same thing over the course of two days while home for Christmas and the only thing I got out of it was a massive headache and four hours I can’t get back.

Holy Smokes!! Physics too!!! Parsons you are either a lone genius, squared or a kook. I’m tending towards kook.

I am the author, C. David Parsons. Visit the official website for additional information: http://questforright.com/

Well done Mr. Parsons, you’ve single handedly reshaped the fields of cosmology, astronomy and biology. Wow. Crackpot or Genius?

This is just a cynical attempt to milk the “not quite rubes” of fundamentalism. Intelligent enough to know their beliefs are absurd, but still eager to square them with reality, they will no doubt lap this stuff up. I know I would’ve.

The Quest for Right sounds more like the quest for the right wing.

The web site you referenced is deceptive. At first it portrays the image of a science based project but as you click to continue you find yourself in a clearly religious site - a site that seeks to undermine common scientific principles.

Very sneaky, but to be sure, your only supporters will be the people who are already science deniers. Anyone who is interested in real science will not be fooled by these tricks.

Case in point:

The extensive work represents the ultimate marriage between an in-depth knowledge of biblical phenomena and natural and physical sciences. You will be awed by the events of the ‘first day’ as the Bible reveals how God created the earth from a watery nebula. You will be amazed at the description of the center of the earth and the source of gravity.

Nope, not science. It’s a complete fraud.
