And it just keeps getting better than this:
"The definition of what science is and what should be taught as science in a world in which Asia and Europe are itching to clean our economic clocks by seeing us throw away our considerable lead in synthetic biology, genomics, agriculture and the biomedical, oceanographic, geological and energy sciences escapes Stein and his producers."
Yeah, it does. Here's more FTA:
"Science, by the very definition of the term, wants to invoke god or divine intervention as little as possible in seeking explanations for natural phenomena. Is that because, as "Expelled" suggests, scientists hate religion? No. Rather it is because the whole point of science is to press to see how far natural causes and mechanisms can go in explaining what is going on around us."

Why is it that liberals can't understand that religious bigotry is just as bad as any other kind of bigotry?
Until liberals stop living a life of hypocrisy its hard to even begin a discussion with them.
Great job Neo, I guess between all your drive by neg'ing you have time to prove you are a religious bigot too.

Just out of curiosity, spinner, exactly WHO said anything about religous bigotry? This man was teaching HIS OWN PERSONAL religious beliefs in a SCIENCE class. He even went so far as to burn (according to the child & the child's parents) a religious symbol on the student's arm.
Wanting this man fired is not religious bigotry; it's a matter of incompetence.
And, btw, I'm Liberal AND a Christian. My bigotry only extends as far as others trying to force their idea of Christianity on my through the gov't & public education system.

I demand that Statues of Zeus be placed in science classrooms as well. Of course everyone knows the creator of all things was either Re, Amun, Ptah, Khnum or Aten, depending on which version of the creation your reading. (You do read hieroglyphs of course!) The heavens were represented by Hathor, Bat, and Horus. All these intelligent designers must be discussed as an alternative to actual biology so Americans can continue attempting to go backwards on that evolution of man chart. If we believe hard enough and give enough money to Joe Snakeoil the preacher eventually we will lose our opposable thumbs, have a tractor pull in the Garden of Eden, and be able to count how many pinheads are dancing on Anglers! Anyone who does not agree is a religious bigot. Mankind has over 2,850 deities each with their own pantheons and creation tales, certainly since
Spindave is not a religious bigot, he also wants each of their mythologies taught in the science classroom as well.

It isn't bigotry to call something what it is. ID is not science, full stop. Therefore, it is a waste of time, money and energy to try and get it taught as science.
Further, the film doesn't show a single person that was fired strictly for their professed belief in ID. Not one. So, who is really the hypocrite here?
