I was merely pointing out that not all schools force conformity. I felt that post was over-dramatic. Drakey: It's important to say that not all private schools are like that. I've heard that in some areas (New York, Los Angeles), the private school are virtually identical to the public schools except with fewer black people, but in the San Francisco area, the private schools are (with a few exceptions) immensely better than the public schools. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, October 12 2005 07:06 Profile Homepage #20 I thought Episode III sat well with the first trilogy (whereas I and II definitely did not). The main problem that Lucas has, I think, is that he cannot write romance to save his life; most of the best lovey feelings from the first trilogy came either from facial expressions or from lines that he didn't write (Leia saying "I love you!" right before Han gets frozen and Han replying, "I know"). Episode III does well because it has little romance. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, October 12 2005 06:47 Profile Homepage #116 quote: Originally written by Chief Spider watching The Simpsons: Did you know that it's actually illegal to have a "moment of silence" in a public school, for fear of someone offering up a silent prayer? As Khoth has already said, this is entirely false, and I'd like to elaborate. The issue was whether one could have prayer in public schools, even student-led voluntary non-denominational prayer at an after-school event like a football game. As far as I know, that was ruled illegal, since there is nothing inherently religious about a football game (but if you want to have an after-school prayer club, that's okay) and a general prayer is considered coercive, since there would be situations in which virtually everyone else is praying, so you feel as though you have to. However, a moment of silence has been specifically upheld as being okay, since one can use it to pray, to review one's goals for the game, or to do nothing at all. quote: Originally written by Synergy67: Now we crank out worker drones where all is focused on career and money. We're not taught to critically think or question the authorities of knowledge, though occasionally we pay lip service to it. Schools are socializing institutions as much as anything else. Hello Huxley. Hello Orwell. Bye Bye Brain. This is dramatic and fun to say but also not generally true. Most of my education has been centered on critical thinking. Philosophy was an important part of my middle school curriculum. And although I went to private schools, my experience is surely not unique or even necessarily unusual. And in college (which is, I believe, the only real school), no one forces you to become a business major or anything pre-professional. History majors and English majors and a variety of other specialists work on critical thinking and analysis. Physics classes put a great emphasis on putting you in the lab to see the actual experiments upon which your laws of physics are based (well, at least in theory they do). Don't get me wrong: many — and probably even most — public middle and high schools that I know of are conformity machines. But usually there are alternatives to the normal track at the local public high school (be they AP classes, separate programs, private schools, whatever), and colleges almost universally teach critical thinking over conformity. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, October 10 2005 21:32 Profile Homepage #101 (EDIT: With reference to Synergy, of course.) Huh. It just occurred to me that I probably never mentioned that the truth or falsehood of Intelligent Design is not even part of the discussion for me. ID could be true, and it doesn't matter. It's whether ID constitutes teaching-worthy science, which I've argued it does not. I mean, for all any of us know, the universe popped into existence mere moments ago with all of us full-formed with false memories going back however long our memories go back. God could've created the world in exactly 4004 B.C. with dinosaur fossils already in it exactly as if they had died millions of years ago. These things could be true; they are simply not useful things to believe. So the truth or validity of science isn't really at issue here, although, again, the philosophical underpinnings of the methods would be a very interesting topic for a couple of weeks during some high school science course. But I think at least the two of us have reached some kind of agreement. Scientific truth is definitely not the only truth, but it's the kind that belongs in science classes, and others are very worthwhile in their respective places, too.

So do I. But also find it very hard to picture a continuous, n-dimensional matrix or how the heck one could ever apply to real life, but I know that quantum mechanics is based on such things, and quantum mechanics is by far the most proven theory in science. Being difficult to visualize is no bar to being true, especially in modern science. quote: Plus there is very little evidence of any of these required intermediate critters. This is not entirely true; several (a real biologist can tell you more) have been found. Also, as any papyrologist will tell you, the fact that something hasn't survived in the ground for thousands (or millions) of years doesn't even remotely indicate that it never existed. More significantly, the genetic record is filling in some of those gaps. quote: I have a strong personal sense and conviction that there is something truly special and "other" about human beings from any animal, and that relates to the spiritual. Yes, and this is the lure of ID. But does this make it scientific? It may be emotionally tempting, but should it be taught in a science class? quote: The marvels of the complexity and beauty and purposefulness of everything from the smallest particles to cells to the existence of emotions, love, the way sex works...etc. etc. it's just all massively overwhelmingly indicative to me of a mighty clever Mind and Heart alike behind the way things are. What about things that don't work very well, like the panda's thumb (and others)? What about vestigial organs, like the vermiform appendix? Why would a creator build these into our systems? Biology is full of these. quote: And I look at the history of scientific "understanding" and every generation has its dogmatic faith in some present paradigm only to be radically overturned at some future point. This is true but misleading. In physics, we say that new theories reduce to old theories in the limiting case. (Einsteinian relativity and Newtonian mechanics, for example — if you're not going near the speed of light, they're the same thing.) In biology, new explanations for the mechanisms of evolution — exactly what kinds of genes are responsible and exactly how — will likely come to light. It is extraordinarily unlikely, however, that anything will supplant evolution entirely, unlikely enough that evolution needs to be taught in our bio classes. I'm completely fine with doing a unit on scientific literacy, which explains the methods of scientific inquiry and the evidence upon which scientific conclusions rest, as well as the questions which the scientific method is capable of answering and the questions with regard to which it is helpless, and I'm fine with using biology as a case study of this. If done well, this could be a fascinating part of the course. However, we must be honest with our students and teach them what science has actually learned, and evolution is one of those things. Informed questioning in order to understand better is fine. Willfully ignorant doubting in the form of spurious questions is not going to lead anywhere good. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Most people who deny the evidence for evolution haven't heard the basic arguments (the panda's thumb, etc.), aren't aware of the experiments (like Thuryl's fruit fly example), or do not understand the genetic evidence. Those who believe in creationism or intelligent design need not deny the evidence for evolution, but if they don't, they fall into the "brainwashed" category, believing something in direct contradiction of the evidence. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
