Is Intelligent Design Intelligent, or is Darwinism a lot of Monkey business

Federal Judge Declares Intelligent Design Unconstitutional
With all the huge problems in the schools, a US District Court Judge John Jones has discovered the real threat to the nation?s schoolchildren. It?s called Intelligent Design or ID. Judge Jones ruled that intelligent design has no place in public school science classes because, as he said, ?It?s religion in disguise.? But is I.D. religion?
The Dover PA schools weren?t even teaching ID! They just wanted students to hear a brief statement before classes on evolution began. The statement said evolution is not a fact. But one of the parents, along with the ACLU, sued the school because his daughter would suffer serious harm from just hearing the statement. He said it would usurp his authority to be the one in charge of his daughter?s religious education. Just hearing a brief statement challenging evolution would usurp his daughter?s religious education. What about the tremendous harm EVOLUTION is doing Christian students? And he?s worried about one statement.
Who is a judge to determine that Intelligent Design is not scientific? Intelligent design is not religious. The judge was wrong. But because of his pro-evolution prejudice, teachers are denied their freedom of speech and cannot present origins objectively when they can?t even mention Intelligent Design to let students decide. Not only did the judge overreach, but his decision is totally unconstitutional.
What?s different about the ID movement is it didn?t arise out of religious conviction but out of new scientific discoveries. Simply put, scientists are discovering that life is too complex and too highly ordered for the current neo-Darwin explanation. In fact, what they assert is that life on earth was DESIGNED. The ID movement shows a belief in a Creator SCIENTIFICALLY fits with the facts!? Alan Keyes
Jones said I.D. was religion camouflaging itself as science. But it?s evolution that?s camouflaging itself as science. The ID movement exposes the fraudulent ?evidence? used in high school textbooks. Darwin?s ?tree of life? is inconsistent with the fossil evidence. Yet it?s presented to innocent school children as a scientific fact. Creative drawings of evidence for evolution, are still used in textbooks as proof for evolution even though they?ve been disproved for decades. Why? Evolutionists want no other viewpoint taught in science class because it makes evolution look foolish.
If I told you a frog turned into a man, you would call that a fairy tale. But evolution says billions of years ago a frog became a man. And that?s called science.
Scientist and founder of the Institute for Creation Science, Dr Henry Morris, said ?Evolution doesn?t occur in the present, it never happened in the past, and, in fact, its not even science at all...If evolution were a real process it would still be happening today.? This is a classic quote from a scientist!
Here?s what really happened. God created man out of the dust of the ground, not from another species. Jesus said, ?From the beginning, God created them male and female.? Notice He said from the beginning of creation (John 1:1, Col 1:16), Darwin wasn?t. Jesus said, in John 5:46, ?If you believed Moses you would believe me.? Moses wrote about Adam not evolution. Paul wrote in Rom 5:14 that ?death reigned from the time of ADAM! Death didn?t exist before Adam sinned, like evolution teaches.
EVOLUTION IS a competing RELIGION! Darwin made atheism scientifically respectable by appealing to ?intellectuals.? Many of us believed that the ?monkey chart? was proof of evolution. We thought that scientists had unearthed actual monkeys and half-men that looked like this picture. And once you?ve seen that picture it?s so convincing that it?s hard to forget. But this chart is pure fiction. It?s an imaginative artist?s fabrication. Sure they found some bones and teeth, but you can draw whatever flesh or fur you want on those bones, it?s just an artist?s imagination- not science. Yet that chart has fooled many children, who simply believed what they were told in science and rejected the Bible.
A building is evidence there was a builder, right? A painting is evidence there was a painter, right? So creation is evidence of a , (fill in the blank). This is logical; it doesn?t require faith, just logic.
There are many who believe a car is the result of a designer. But let me tell you what really happened. Many centuries ago iron, rubber, plastic and glass came up out of the ground, and each substance fastened itself in the right place with another substance and holes found themselves at the right places. Then one day some people found one of these things and they called it an ?automobile.? Incredibly these automobiles have the ability to change each year, that?s called ?auto-mutations.? I would be called a raving lunatic if I believed automobiles evolved but highly intelligent people believe something far more complex just evolved. Scientists admit a car had a designer, but many reject the idea that creation has a Creator.? Pastor Chuck Swindol
Creationism has been ruled not scientifically plausible when in fact it is the true reality.? Pastor Chuck Smith
Teaching Science Intelligently
Are science teachers trying to change the RELIGIOUS beliefs of students? If Christian students learn to believe evolution, will they eventually deny their Christian faith? Dr Terry Mortensen, of Answers in Genesis, says evolution is not a science but a philosophy. In fact, evolution is a religion. Atheism depends totally upon evolution. It takes faith to believe evolution.
Kevin Snider, the Chief Counsel for The Pacific Justice Inst., says PJI is suing the Univ. Of Cal. For using tax dollars to undermine the religious beliefs of Christians. If government favors teaching only evolution, is it establishing a religion?
The state is actually supporting and promoting an atheistic philosophy that is a direct violation of the first Amendment by establishing a secular religion-atheism!
There is a religion which has more churches, more power, more audiences and more control than any other religion in America. Yet 99% of people don?t even know what religion it is. It is the religion of secular humanism. Its church buildings are our public schools; its property is valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Every year tens of billions of dollars are spent in the propagation of its doctrines. It is particularly dangerous because unlike any other religion it is officially endorsed and taught in the public school systems of America. Pastor Dr D. James Kennedy.
