Will Louisiana's new Academic Freedom Act serve as a model for other states? In reading it's description their is no mandate that creationism or ID has to be taught in science classes. On the other hand would it also allow teaching of a stork that brings babies to waiting parents? How about leprechauns creating the earth?Will astrology and alchemy be taught alongside with creationism?
Read below the Discovery Institute's article entitled "Louisiana Passes Rules Implementing Historic Academic Freedom Act"
The Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) voted unanimously to adopt rules today implementing the Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA), the landmark academic freedom bill passed last summer.The wording in the act makes the distinction of controversial scientific theories can be expressed. The difference between creationism and astrology, alchemy and other beliefs is scientific controversy. Where are the scientists that advocate astrology or Alchemy?
The rules approved by the BESE effectuate the academic freedom bill’s purpose to allow teachers to use supplementary materials to teach controversial scientific theories without threat of recrimination.
Their are thousands of scientists who have given significance credence to the theory of intelligent design, creation or at least theistic evolution.
Even the famous Ken Miller who was a witness for evolution in the Dover, PA trial advocates a type of intelligent design. See "Catholic scientist has faith in both God and evolution." He believes that at least the laws of the universe were ordained for evolution to take place. Should not this view also be expressed?
