Intelligent Design or Evolution?

In Dover, Pennsylvania, a US District Court Judge appointed by President Bush 43 ruled that evolution and not intelligent design can be taught in the Dover Area School District.

Is it too difficult to stop engaging in these school yard battles and just teach the ideas that both topics present? It is ridiculous not to teach ideas. In the context of our constitution it is simply a matter of free speech. Both Mein Kampf and the Holy Bible are found in the school library as historical documents. Could evolution be taught in Biology and intelligent design be taught in Sociology?

Ideas stimulate thinking. Thinking solves questions. Resolving questions uncovers truth.....warts and all....evolution and intelligent design. The exclusion of ideas in discussion is facism. Neitzche is wrong. Barnum is right. Lincoln is wrong, and W.C. Fields said it best, "On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia."
