From the New York Times:
DALLAS — Opponents of teaching evolution, in a natural selection of sorts, have gradually shed those strategies that have not survived the courts. Over the last decade, creationism has given rise to “creation science,” which became “intelligent design,” which in 2005 was banned from the public school curriculum in Pennsylvania by a federal judge.
Now a battle looms in Texas over science textbooks that teach evolution, and the wrestle for control seizes on three words. None of them are “creationism” or “intelligent design” or even “creator.”
The words are “strengths and weaknesses.”
I would call that the de-evolution of anti-evolutionists. Well, actually, they are not Creationists or for Creation; increasingly they are just anti-evolution, since they have dropped "creation" from their terms and they merely want options available regarding how the teaching of evolution is done. The movie "Expelled" is an example of this.
Seriously, they are such compromisers, how can they expect the Lord to bless their movement? They are trying to be sneaky and not mention God nor a literal Six Day Creation and therefore not getting what they want anyway. As one begin label doesn't work, they find one even less so. Now there's no mention of Creation at all. Just question evolution's strengths and weaknesses. Exactly where are the strengths of a false notion like evolution?? Scripture says no lie is of the Truth.
I just wish Christians (I know others are also want Creation--other religious groups) would get guts and put out clearly what they hold to and be done with it. Take the heat, take the insults, take the persecution for holding out bodly that Jesus Christ the Lord is Creator. Instead they are fearing man.
As it is, the Evolutionists are winning because they haven't changed their message or termonology...the "Christians" have. Sort of like with RCC. It didn't change but Christians have slowly been compromising with it.
