Christian Fundamental Dominionism

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to help the Federal Government coordinate a national effort to expand opportunities for faith-based and other community organizations and to strengthen their capacity to better meet America’s social and community needs, it is hereby ordered as follows:

A judge that can interpret the constitution and figure out that ID is not science.

Judge rules against ‘intelligent design’ in science class: “We have concluded that it is not [science], and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents,’”

This should create precedent for similar rulings in other states.

Let me make something clear. I am not some sort of anti-religious zealot zealot, I have no problem with Belief in God, I just don’t think it should be taught in a science class. I think it blurs, or redefines as Kansas did, the definition of science, and gives our students a disadvantage in the future. How can you properly study science, if all of the sudden the scientific method turned into some blurry concept.

It’s a sad day when science gets butchered. From the article

“This is a sad day. We’re becoming a laughingstock of not only the nation, but of the world, and I hate that,” said board member Janet Waugh, a Kansas City Democrat.

Now don’t get me wrong, this is not about religion per se, it’s about religion being taught in schools, which is obviously against the constitution. It’s also about the butchering of science which is a step back for any culture.
