The very first sentence shows their disdain:
- Creationists who want religious ideas taught as scientific fact in public schools continue to adapt to courtroom defeats by hiding their true aims under ever changing guises
How about instead:
- Creationists propose that schools allow students to be exposed to alternate explanations for riddles that evolutionists have made no progress at solving in over 100 years since Darwin raised his own doubts about them.
Key concepts of the article:
- Creationists continue to agitate against the teaching of evolution in public schools, adapting their tactics to match the roadblocks they encounter.
- Past strategies have included portraying creationism as a credible alternative to evolution and disguising it under the name “intelligent design.”
- Other tactics misrepresent evolution as scientifically controversial and pretend that advocates for teaching creationism are defending academic freedom.
Other key concepts:
- Evolutionists use articles like this to misrepresent evolution as a science, publicly pretend that there is nothing there are no fundamental issues that they can not explain, eventhough they in fact have no explanation for the most fundamental issues, and only conjecture for the others.
- Evolutionists don't care about academic freedom unless only Godless materialistic explanations are discussed.
- Article picks apart Louisiana law that encourages teachers to present many alternatives to students to help them develop critical thinking skills. The law states “support and guidance for teachers regarding effective ways to help students understand, analyze, critique, and objectively review scientific theories being studied.”
- Evolutionists desire that any presentation of evolution that raises questions about evolutionary issues leave the listener with gaps unfilled by any alternative explanation that they don't approve of.
