Are creationists returning to their YEC roots?

I don't know that I agree about creation science returning to its YEC roots. ID has a few death throes to go through before that. Having failed to get ID onto the biology curriculum, the discovery institute will move on to trying to insert it into philosophy class. There are already a few "philosophy of design" classes in existence.This is deplorable, and the fact that some biologists have supported the idea is, in my opinion, a disgrace. These biologists have the attitude of somebody who wishes to dump their shit into a neighbor's yard so that they don't have to worry about it any more.There is an article describing the California "Philosophy of Design" class, recently dropped, at ars technica. Here is a copy of the syllabus: Basically, they will be trying to get this antiscience into public schools, one way or the other. The vast majority of the material above has no philosophical content or value. It is worth noting that the two pro-evolution speakers on the course were a local parent (who didn't even know the class existed) and Francis Crick (who is dead). Philosophy classes are already underfunded and overstretched, so its a shame they might have to boot out Plato in favor of this junk.Once all of these options fail, then I agree with some of the posters above - we'll be back to YECs.MickEdited by mick, : No reason given.
