   Name: Joseph Wolf on Jan 31, 2008

   Comments: Florida kids deserve to be taught good valid science as understood by the scientific community. The future economy requires a well educated workforce. Evolution is part of science. It is the theoretical basis of all life sciences. To say this is no more dogmatic than to teach the germ theory of disease. Evolution has been tested by the scientific community for 150 years and come out stronger every time. I urge the State Board to approve the new science standards.

   Comments: I strongly encourage approving these standards, which have been confirmed by hundreds of religious people to be totally unoffensive, and backed by the scientific community as a foundational truth

   Comments: Please do not leave Florida's students in the prehistoric dust of ignorance. Allow them to be as informed as student throughout the world who learn about evolution in it's appropriate place, the science classroom.

    Comments: If you expect any tech firms to move to Florida, you will need to give their children a good science education. ID is not part of a good science education.

    Name: Gary D.Ringer on Jan 31, 2008

    Comments: As an engineer, I find it appalling that in the 21rst century, we are still even discussing this issue. Evolution is the only scientifically viable theory available. If any other hypothesis can be quantified, then by all means teach that to our future, but please no not equate the pursuit of knowledge through experimentation and thought with the intellectual dishonesty inherent in either Creationism, with its blind faith ignoring all that we have so painfully learned, or Intelligent Design, with it

    Comments: I have taught biology courses at all grade levels between middle school and undergraduate. I feel that it is critical to give our students the best science education possible and that means not compromising the integrity of biology education. Evolution is the central organizing principle of the life sciences. Thank you for your time.

    Comments: As a middle school Science teacher in Florida, the actions taken by the Counties contrary to good science education concerns me. In a state that ranks in science literacy at about the same level of a developing nation, these actions truly concern me, and may actually force me to leave the state.

    Comments: That the teaching of the theory of evolution is even questioned at this time in history is an appalling comentary on the level of scientific understanding among our citizens. This situation must be corrected!

    Comments: While there may be some very small holes connecting all the dots with all the collected knowledge in the science of evolution, it is clearly known by all that ONLY one's faith is connecting the stated truths in the BIBLE ! Science is science....and Religion is religion....they each have a proper place in schools.

    Comments: As a scientific illustrator, I understand the concepts of scientific process and truth. As a religious person, I understand the importance of allegory and metaphorical expression to add depth and meaning to our lives. Please keep the science in the classroom and the religious study in the churches.
