   Comments: ScientificTheory is based on repeatable, provable objective studies., subject to change with new objective findings. The "theory" of ID is a completely different animal. It is based on beliefs which arise from religious roots and are fixed.. The two types of "theory" have nothinging common. The latter is a non provable belief system. If one wants to espouse it, church is the place, not schools where scientific reasoning and objectivity are essential for the future of the country.

   Comments: I have no problem with Intelligent Design being taught as a theory in a class on Philosophy and Religion, but it has no place in the teaching of science courses such as biology. Perhaps God is Intelligence itself, driving evolution--but this is a theory, a philosophical or religious theory, and should be taught in the appropriate class. Evolution is now accepted as scientific fact, and should be addressed in a factual sense. If students are to be taught any religion in grade school, or high school,it should be done in a relion and philosophy class, and the students should be taught not just Christianity but be taught about the other religions around the world, and about Philosophy as well. These classes should be reserved for High school, though, as they are difficult and mature subject material. Outside of this, religion should be left in the church and home. For years, religion hindered scientific growth; we don't want to take steps backwards. The school, outside of a class specified to teach various religions and philosophies, is no place for religion.

   Comments: As expected, the petition is full of lies and half-truths: I am signing it in protest! Evolution -say "evil-you-shun" is only a Darwinian fantasy that has no basis in fact whatsoever, a truth borne out by the fact that "The revised standards address the scientific theory of evolution without equivocation or the introduction of nonscientific notions." and that no attempt is being made to teach students the truth: "Students must understand the current state of the science to be part of an informed citizenry.", just the one-sided lies concocted by the writers of this petition! The following means the workforce should be educated with their minds full of lies instead of provable truths -no wonder FL schools turn out such poorly educated students! The economy of Florida requires the foundation of well educated citizens in order to compete and prosper within global competition. A solid grounding in the sciences is essential to providing a well educated labor force to the state's employers. Oh yes -those who have been trained to believe lies! :"

    Comments: As a recovering Roman Catholic I believe the place for the discussion of ID should be in classes concerning religion, where many schools of thought can be discussed, or in classes about philosophy. When teaching Science, ID should be checked at thr door.

    Comments: Intelligent design is absolute bunk. There is no proof that some superior being waved a hand and all came into existence. It just isn't even a little scientific and requires the same sort of blind faith that the German people had in Adolph Hitler. If I had a child in school now I would demand that they be excluded from being forced to ingest this guff simply on the grounds that it violates the First Amendment and forces our children to become all one religion. Let parents decide what religion a child should learn and not force them all to be cut out of the same mold.

    Comments: I am a science-based public health physician, and I hold a Masters Degree in Religion. I firmly believe that the theory of evolution must be taught at all levels of education. Courses in religion or philosophy could in theory address questions raised by advocates of so-called Intelligent Design.
