Re: Science protects dogs, but why should it protect kid's minds?

But hey, why should science be used to vet the information taught to
children in science classes?  I mean, why should children's minds be
protected from untested ideas using at least the same standards used
for dog food?  Sure, science is proper to keeping dog's lives safe and
whole, but children's minds aren't worthy of any such protections.

No, tested ideas, and ideas which have either failed the test, or
carefully avoided tests altogether (as ID at least attempts to do),
are all equal for teaching to children.  Their minds can be filled
with any kind of rot and abracadabra, but we'll sue if you put
scientifically unproven ingredients in our dogs' food.

So yeah, it's all science for our dogs.  Florida's kids?  Get real,
we'll tell them anything in science class.  It's all the same to us
whether those ideas have passed scientific tests or not.

A child's mind is not such a terrible thing to waste after all.  What
is put into it hardly merits the same scrutiny that the food put into
a dog's belly does.

And you know, ID is all about the children, treating their minds as
more expendable than our dogs.

Creationists, of course, have no objection to protecting kids' minds,
unless the process or result threatens the Creationist's own comfort
zone. I assure you that if feeding dogs safely challenged a biblical
literalist's peace of mind, then dogs would be a memoryt.
