Trust her not, Jeanie. She may well be notifying the priesthood so they can attack your livelihood.


We were talking about posting etiquette not long ago. I don't see much here from you.

Would anything I said about Jeanie or her credentials here make a blind bit of difference? And what does it matter if she is subbing one class? If she were their regular teacher and was preparing to teach a unit about evolution, then I'd probably like to discuss the matter further; but at the end of the day I'm not going to bully anyone into doing anything and it's not my style to try.

LindaLou argued that any such belief, even if held on a personal basis and never introduced to students, disqualifies one from teaching science.


I've never claimed that being a theist disqualifies anyone from teaching science. That's a pretty ridiculous misrepresentation and it shows you've not paid much attention to what I've been saying here -- or maybe that you only see what you want to see.
That's not a misrepresentation at all. I have precisely described ID, and you have argued that it was right to remove teachers on the basis of holding ID beliefs.

I didn't say 'theist' - you did. The thread's there, and you can't edit, so it looks like you're stuck.

I only recently said that a creationist might teach other areas of science very competently, but when it comes to teaching evolution they are going to be having problems with evidence there. It remains to be shown here how creationism is a legitimate science.
So have you changed your mind about the Gonzales case?

It's interesting, by the way, that we are spending so much time chatting with creationists in threads like this. If you're not careful, people might get the impression that you are avoiding talking about any issues involving science.
This forum isn't just about science. It's about evolutionism too.
