Haha.

Baugh believes that our children would benefit from hearing the theory of intelligent design taught from a scientific point of view in Texas schools.

Teacher: "OK, students, today we're required to cover the theory of Intelligent Design from a scientific point of view. From a scientific point of view, the theory of Intelligent Design is a load of crap."

That's about as far as it should go, IMO.

Didn't you notice who spoke at 7:45 Friday night?

Mageth · 04-15-2002, 12:46 PM

Dembski!

Texas has more than its fair share of nuts.

Wait a sec. Is this the Carl Baugh of Paluxy Man Tracks fame? You're right, HJ, he REALLY lends an air of illegitimacy (err, legitimacy) to the ID movement. I wonder if Dembski knows he's sharing top billing with a boob and a fraud who's the laughingstock of the free world?

Holy intelligently-designed fecal matter!! I was free Friday night, and only 200 miles away! I guess it's a good thing I didn't know about this fine seminar, or I might have actually gone. Ewww.

I was only 100 miles away. Coulda heard Dembski and Baugh back-to-back. Actually, I think that would have been an interesting experience. I'd view it as sort of an anthropological field trip.

Yep. Notice the two other speakers are also associated with "Dr." Baugh's Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose, TX. And then there's William Dembski.

Someone should organize a field trip there. You could
provide a tour guide who would talk about the
scientific errors being made in the displays.
Of course, you couldn't guarantee that only your
group would hear you.....

With the right funding, this could be done every
weekend....

Ladies and Gentlemen, right this way! See the fake footprints! See the fake Doctor!

I think I could do that........
