No, but I've seen some utube clips.
I think it is funny, the Hawkins accepts that some superior alien life form could have come down to earth and starting this whole thing. But it couldn't have been a diety?
If you think about it, judeo-christian's God, is just an omnipresent, omnipotent alien life form whom we worship. After all accepting the biblical description of God, he isn't from earth (so he is an alien) and he created the earth (so he is superior) he is a being (moses saw him). So you know got would fit that description but oh no we can't call it like we see it...

The u-tube clip is out of context. Hawkins says that in response to a question of whether he could think of any way that an outside being could have placed life on earth. His response is tongue-in-cheek - aliens.

Im not really interested in debating whats the truth. the whole thing is being able to teach both sides , creation and evolution in a scientific matter in the classroom

I see no reason why one unproven theory should be taught over another.

You guys feel free to believe the earth is only 6k years old, women were created from Adam's rib and please continue to peddle lies about fossil records...I'd prefer if my children were not taught this rubbish.
I'd rather my childern be taught that all living creatures must have had a parent (I think most people would agree that living creatures must come from living creatures). There is also a lot of fossil records, seems as though the deeper you go in rock layers the more simple life forms become. Read something recently about elephants over the past 150 years have evolved smaller tusks as a result of poaching and the effects that has had on breeding populations.

The Theory of Intelligent Design teaches exactly none of those things.

Then you better come up with a better theory than Evolution to teach them, as the first life forms sprang from nothing according to that particular theory.

Adaptation is not macro evolution. Further, in the case of elephants, the fact that poachers shoot the elephnats with the larger tusks removes the genetic potential for offspring with large tusks. That's not even adaptation, it's simply genetics.

Well Journey, you had better write to the editors and explain to them that the articles are all wrong and the elephants haven't evolved at all. Although, you have to admit it does show natural selection in process and I have always thought natural selection was a component of evolution?

I'd prefer ,my children were not taught any unproven theory as fact. I don't see whats wrong with saying here's how some people attempt to explain it here's how others do and just move on to more important things.

I don't disagree with that. However, Intellient Design is nothing more then means to sneak religion into public schools.

How typical of the right to use fear to push an agenda. I'm not sure what kind of public school you went to, but I don't remember praying or prayer time in my school? We used to say the pledge but we didn't pray.

That's bad because....?
My religion teaches:
Not to murder
Not to steal
Not to commit adultery
Do not lie
Honor your father and mother
Ah, I see those are things liberals find offensive
Among other things. I think our schools need MORE of that.

Hey, Algore did something the Medieval Alchemists failed to do. Algore turned carbon in gold!

We decided to wait until it comes out on DVD. Not the stuff a 9yr old wants to watch. We had Baskin Robbins instead. My daughter's sunday scool class awards Baskin Robbins credit coupons.
She had accumulated $10 worth so she treated us to ice cream.

There aren't that many theaters showing it yet.

Doesn't society teach us that? I'd think you'd be smart enough to know that you don't need a religion to be a good person and being a Christian does = being a good person.
What about some of the Eastern Philosophies, many of the asain/indian Americans I know are model citizens, should be also incorporate their belief system into our schools?

At my daughter's open house the other night I saw a 3rd grader with a skin industries T-shirt on. (yes, it had a silhouette of 2 unclothed women on it) So, to answer your question simply, NO!
