re: #668 Equable

Well if he was trying to invoke thought and attach a bit of urgency to what he was trying to say he certainly achieved that.

Teaching science is like an art form and sometimes you have to be a bit harsh to make a point stick; I understand this fully. The bum deal about this is art is open to interpretation and sometimes the heart speaks louder than the mind. I am privy to this at times and it is a character flaw I try to work on.

I reread the article and am rereading it again and see what he was saying as clear as day. I am trying to quell my initial feelings about the analogy he used.

What he’s saying is perfectly clear: attempts to teach creationism in science classes is as odious as attempts to teach holocaust revisionism in history classes.

It’s just that simple and just that clear.
