Please do not speak for Charles Darwin. You have never met the man and neither do you share his views or intentions. Oh and yeah, Darwinism and science are two different things. So to assume that all of science is Darwinism is a foolish belief. And once again, Dembski is not here for the Darwin celebrations. He is here to try to impose his view on OU students!!!

"A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question.”
Exactly, I couldn't agree more with Darwin. So lets balance the facts on this whole issue.
Fact - the original authors of this bill are from the conservative think tank Discovery Institute led by William Dembski. Their goal is to establish Intelligent Design as part of America's educational curriculum.
Fact - the bill's intention is to allow religious discussion within Oklahoma schools. From SB320 - : "Students may be evaluated based upon their understanding of course materials, but no student in any public school or institution shall be penalized in any way because the student may subscribe to a particular position on scientific theories." - which simply means that GOD CREATED THE EARTH AND THERE IS NOTHING MY TEACHER CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!
Fact - the Zogby poll that our wonderful OPINION EDITOR used stated that 80% believe that both the strengths and the weaknesses of evolution should be taught in class.Okay. But it doesn't necessarily mean that 80% of America wants Intelligent Design or creationism (which is the intent of this bill) to be taught in classes.
Fact - the bill is similar to a similar bill by Rep. Sally Kern and we all know where her intentions lie.
Fact - the OPINION EDITOR OF THE OU DAILY who is responsible for this "OUR VIEW" article is the FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE OU IDEA CLUB - a campus organization dedicated to spread the teachings of intelligent design. Don't believe me? Then go this website - http://studentlife.ou.edu/index.php?o...
These are just some of the facts about this situation. But above all, I am still disgusted by the tactics of the OU Daily to severely accuse and attack 2 OU professors. As a student of this university, I think we all (including the OU Daily) owe a lot to our professors. After this situation, it is clear that NO PROFESSOR WILL EVER BE SAFE FOR EXPRESSING HIS OR HER OPINION!!!

Reform is good, cause student congress and UOSA is full of people who care about getting to the top posts rather than actually doing something good for the students.
