I want to be very clear about this.

I agree with most of the posters here on the following points:

1) YEC is a religion and supported in no means by science.
2) The “Acedemic Freedom” bills are being used in an attempt to get religion into the classroom.
3) the Theory of Inteligent Design has been taken over by YEC and is often used to promote a religious veiwpoint.

Points where I disagree with many of you:

1) Intelligent Design is a valid scientific viewpoint.
2) The “Acedemic Freedom” bills (If Properly written) can ensure scientific process is taught in our schools.
