Personally, I favor the theory of intelligent falling.

When they offer an Intelligent design argument, just say.
"I KNOW God created Man. The method he used is called Evolution."

Just for your info, there is evidence of evolution occuring within a species, but no evidence (let alone proof) that one species has/can/will evolve into another. That's why its called a theory.

I've seen a lot of this lately. I'm not arguing one way or another. I will, however, say that the theory of intelligent design says that everything is so complex and precise that something greater must have made it--not that "god" made things, or that he put fossils on the planet to test faith, or anything at all having to do with the bible.

I have no problem with this theroy being taught, as long as it doesn't replace what else is being taught.

Teach it as another view as opposed to fact. But I don't agree with forcing teachers to teach it

Very sensible arguments you have here. I agree that the scientific proof supporting Darwin's theory needs to be taught and that until they can prove otherwise, leave it alone. Does the Bible mention anything about dinosaurs?

Actually, "creationism" and "intelligent design" aren't the same ideas. "Creationism" has no support within the scientific community, so far as I know. But the notion of "intelligent design" is accepted by some scientists, whether they have a theistic view of the world or not.

In addition, only a small percentage of Christians are creationists. Most Christians will affirm that God created the universe, of course. But such an affirmation doesn't in any way say what the mechanism by God created might have been.

There is actually some pretty clear evidence against Darwin's theory of evolution. I can't believe you want your kids taught things that just aren't true.

Let's look at Darwin's Score card:

Origin of Species is a book that practically everyone has heard of. Most people think they know what it says. Few people have actually read it. You have heard of Origin of Species, haven’t you? You know what it says, don’t you? Have you read it? See what we mean?

One would think that Origin of Species would be required reading for every modern introductory biology class. It isn’t. As we examine it in detail, you will see why it isn’t. Darwin got it mostly wrong. If biology students read Origin of Species, the teacher would have to spend most of every lecture telling the students that what they read isn’t true.

We haven’t talked much about the errors in Darwin’s Origin of Species in previous newsletters because it is an old, out-dated book, full of errors well-known to modern science. Therefore, evolutionists might claim that we are taking cheap shots at early theories that evolutionists no longer believe. But, according to the Field Museum, “Darwin got it (mostly) right.” That makes Darwin’s Origin of Species fair game. Since they have made the claim that Darwin was mostly right, it is appropriate to ask, “Just how right was Darwin?”

We and the museum apparently agree that Darwin got some things right and some things wrong. The sticking point is the word “mostly”. That is a subjective term that is difficult to quantify. So, let us examine what Darwin wrote, and you can decide whether Darwin was mostly right or not.
More individuals are born than can possibly survive. 1

Darwin observed that not every creature that is born lives long enough to reproduce after its kind. Certainly, he got that right. Ask a mathematician how many rabbits there would be on the Earth after 1,000 years, starting with a single pair, if all survived to maturity. Worse yet, imagine how many mosquitoes would be in the world today if none of them were eaten by fish or birds. The world is not overrun with rabbits and mosquitoes because not all of them survive long enough to reproduce.

I can't believe you want your kids taught something that can not be true. Let's look at Darwin's scorecard.
