RE: [asa] Interview Questions for Michael Ruse

Would the teaching of experimental science in elementary and high school suffer if we did not teach the Big Bang creation of the universe in physics classes or evolutionary theory in biology classes? And if so, how?

Hi all,

One of my acquaintances has the opportunity to interview Michael Ruse tomorrow and has requested that people forward to him any questions they feel may be usefully put to Ruse.

Would anybody care to contribute suggestions?

Here's my question:

Some say that they're not big fans of teaching ID as science (as opposed to metaphysics), but they think the irony is that people would actually be much more interested in evolution if it were taught that way. Either way, you're dealing with the identical facts. One person says they reveal intelligence, the other, randomness. What difference does it make to the conduct of the actual science?
