Anyone up for a debate of Intelligent Design vs. Evolution in public schools?

Nup... Mainly because they are all sleeping

Anyways... What do you mean by "Intelligent Design" verses "Evolution", give your version first if you want a debate.

Evolution is Darwin's theory that all animals descended from a common ancestor and then branched off into different species. Contrary to what a lot of people think it does NOT say that we humans came from gorillas. Everything evolves to adapt to its environment.

Intelligent Design believes that there is a higher power, what a lot of people call a god, who created the whole universe, everything you see and can't see. And they believe it was all for a purpose, there's a reason why we're here. That's what they believe.

I tend to lean toward Intelligent Design. At the same time I won't discount evolution. But I don't believe they have to be mutually exclusive. It's not that cut and dried.

Schools are for teaching fact, not fiction. Teaching ID in schools is ridiculous, and something that will be phased out in a matter of time, it's just a question of how long.

Should we be teaching in school that cats are bad luck?

WOW, thanks littlehumper very well stated as facts...

But agreed Anon, who is to say? But is it fact or fiction?

It's fiction...

At least that it can never be proven, and is facing a contradictory theory based on actual scientific evidence.

That's your opinion. Not everyone's. A lot of scientists admit there has to be a design behind all this. It wasn't just all haphazard.

My belief:

Yes there is a higher power that created this world and the things within it.

I do believe in evolution but evolution within species.

As far ID being fiction, can't disprove it any more than you can prove scientific evidence. Scientist Smientist
