| 208 | Rev. Arica Ellen King | Evolution and the age of the earth are well established scientific principles while intelligent design and creationism are only religious views contrary to evolution. Only science belongs in science classes. Keep religious views out of schools in general and science classrooms especially. Notye: In addition to being an ordained minister I am listed in Who's Who for some of my earlier scientific accomplishments. Science doesn't contradict spiritual principles, only some religious views. |
| 209 | Steve Imhof | While I personally believe in a guiding force behind generation of all complex structures making up our universe, it is my conviction that scientific evidence is to support my belief is lacking. My spiritual faith is NOT science. Although some data ALLOWS for my belief system I recognize my beliefs have little or now scientific proof. Public schools should stick to the facts and teach only science in science class, not an interpretation of some of the facts that would vindicate my own or anyone else's faith. |

| 211 | James Whitehead | Clean businesses rely on an educated public, and a well-educated citizenry is an absolute requirement for entering a 21st century economy. End the 19th century education requirements, put religion back in church and at home, and propel Florida education forward to handle the challenges of the future. |

| 222 | STEVE HISLOP | I WISH I COULD HAVE LEARNED ABOUT EVOLUTION WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL. |
| 223 | reginald B. Jones | Intelligent Design is a belief - not science. If taught at all it should be taught in a religion class. Even then, as its core beliefs are only within the Christian religions, it will be contrary to many belief systems. Intelligent Design should go into the book of forgotten and useless myths. |

| 227 | William Kearns | Everyone has the right to their beliefs, but let's keep science in the classroom. If 100 scientist state one theory and 1 states the opposite, that doesn't deserve equal time. |
| 228 | Anonymous | Schools should teach science without having it distorted by religious beliefs. |
| 229 | Walter Graue | Actual fact and superstition will never converge! |
| 230 | Norman N. Holland | Intelligent design isn't! it does not belong in our classrooms. |
| 231 | Sam O. Colgate | |
| 232 | Cathy FLann | It is extremely important that our children have a solid education in science. We expect them to compete, but how can they if they are not receiving the education necessary to help them exceed globally. |
| 233 | David Bracht | Throw intelligent design, creationism, and all other ridiculous superstition and religious dogma in the garbage can, where they belong. Keep church and state separate. |
| 234 | robert senatore | INTELLIGENT DESIGN is a fraud! It has already been outed as a Trojan horse used to carry religion into our classrooms..
THERE IS NO CONTRAVERSY since ID is not science...and OUR CHILDREN DESERVE SCIENCE, NOT SUPERSTITION...!!! |
| 235 | Dennis R. Sheets | Please do not allow Florida science education to be contaminated by faith-based metaphysics |

| 239 | Rosana Resende | As a parent and step-parent, I am alarmed that Florida schools, already so beleaguered by deficits in multiple areas, seem to be taking a step backwards when it comes to basic scientific training. This state's main resource is its population, and I would like the next generation to have the promise of a better future by making its members competitive and competent in all disciplines and markets. Faith is a beautiful mystery, one that I am careful to share with my children. However, it is not one I want their science teacher introducing and relying upon. |
| 240 | Mary Ellen Elkins | evolution is fact, period |
| 241 | Peter R Bromer | Leave God in the church, synagogue and masque, where He belongs.
Keep pure science in the class room. |
| 242 | Andrew M. Smith | |
| 243 | Tammy Taglieri | |
| 244 | James W. Linnell | I support the standard that address the scientific theory of evolution without equivocation. The US is in danger of losing its competitive edge in the global economy. Weakening scientific standards in education will only make this worse. |
| 245 | Kenneth Chamberlin | |
| 246 | Marten Walters | What next - equal time for the Flat Earth "theory"? |
| 247 | Steven Wetstein | |
| 248 | Kristine Hoppenworth | |
| 249 | Thomas Le | Please do not mix religion with science in a science class. |
| 250 | Edward H. Stein, M.D. | This is so important if Florida is to stay anywhere near the vanguard, so that we can raise our own top scientists, rather than pay dearly to continue to import scientists from other more enlightened states, as we did with Scripps and more recently the Max Planck Institute. |
