A federal judge ruled against a Pennsylvania school district's "intelligent design" biology curriculum today, saying that it violated the Constitution.
Is anyone REALLY surprised that this was the ruling that the federal court came up with?
Intelligent design belongs in a cultures curriculum where it fits in, not in a biology class. Many churches have said this. National debate about the issue is ongoing and it isn't going away soon.
People on the right have to understand that trying to impose a religious belief on the secular world is something that is very dangerous to do and runs the risk of being overturned in court. The artificially created separation of church and state has decades of precident behind it, and, right or wrong, that precident is the one that most federal judges will follow to the letter, as demonstrated today with the 139-page opinion from the court.
So we shouldn't be too surprised when the courts rule like this. And don't expect this argument to go away anytime soon. Here's the story.
