Frenkel: Religious beliefs should be private, not public policy
David Frenkel, a guest columnist for the Winchester Star weighs in on "separation of church and state".
He plays the religious card and attempts to crowd a theistic worldview out of any policy decisions. It's a trick because the atheistic and agnostic worldviews are deemed the only legitimate players who get to decide what is best for all citizens; theists, agnostics, and atheists.
Let's face it; we are all trying to force our morality into the public square and into the arena of public policymaking. To play the religious card is disingenuous at the very least.

IMAX theaters reject film over evolution
On cnn.com, a report on the stir of an IMAX film which is not being shown because of the mention of evolution with volcanoes.
Theaters owners are looking to make some money, and many in the South think this is not the movie to run because it would stir the sensibilities of the faithful.
The article ends with: "It's going to restrain the creative approach by directors who refer to evolution."
I suppose people in the South should not only be forced to watch this film, but also to pay money to be forced to do so. If not, then the word "censorship" will be used.

Who's Afraid of Intelligent Design?
Washington Post education reporter Jay Mathews is showing a great deal of courage with his article. Mathews is a devout Darwinist, yet supports teaching of the controversy in public school classrooms, specificaly intelligent design.
He would like Gould's favorite question to be asked in the classroom: If you are real scientists, then what evidence would disprove your hypothesis? ID is an excellent candidate.
You might want to take some time to e-mail Mr. Mathews and thank him for his willingness to speak out. Undoubtedly, he is getting much hate e-mail from the other side.

Rogue weeds defy rules of genetics
Apparently some weeds have not read the textbooks on how genetics should work, according to an article by Andy Coghlan at NewScientist.com
These rogue weeds may not be the only living things which display the genetic oddities discussed, namely, rewriting some code. Apparently, there is still much to learn with regard to how RNA and DNA work.

We are a group of individuals, coming from diverse backgrounds and not speaking for any organization, who have found common ground around teleological concepts, including intelligent design. We think these concepts have real potential to generate insights about our reality that are being drowned out by political advocacy from both sides. We hope this blog will provide a small voice that helps rectify this situation.
