| Scientists attack 'intelligent design' (Aust) |
|
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,16984118-421,00.htmlA COALITION of more than 70,000 Australian scientists and science educators has condemned the teaching in science classes of "intelligent design" - a creationist-like theory of the origin of life.
The group says it is "gravely concerned" that intelligent design is being taught in schools as an alternative to evolution.
"It's important scientists take a stand on this because intelligent design is nothing more than creationism dressed up in a tuxedo," says Mike Archer, dean of science at the University of NSW and the driving force behind the letter. "It's the same mishmash of theology and science."

| 2. 70000 seems a lot - probably a typo |
|
but yes conservative politicians down here are pushing this intelligent design on us at the moment. They're trying to get it into schools.

| 9. Probably not a typo. Includes educators (teachers). Maybe a petition. |

from a Christian, I find the teaching of intelligent design ridiculous. yeah, I believe in God, but I also believe in Mr. Darwin. And the more people we get making an outcry, the less likely we are to have a fundamentalist christian "science" shoved down our children's throats

| 4. What's the Kansas of Australia? |
|
Is "Ignert by Design" actually being taught in any Aus. classrooms, or is this just a preemptive strike by the scientists?

Tony Abbot is one of the poliiticians trying to get it in schools. Unfortunately he's a fairly prominent politician.
