ACLU PROS & CONS
Last updated on: 6/17/2008 1:03:00 PM PST ACLU Pros & Cons Home Page > Source Biographies > >Intelligent Design Network (IDnet)

Intelligent Design Network (IDnet) Biography

Position: Con to the question "Is the ACLU Good for America?"
Reasoning:
"[Darwinists] know full well that the thin veil of legal protection afforded evolution in public schools exists solely because the 'rest of the story' is not generally known or understood by the public. The ACLU has willingly exploited this situation by threats of lawsuits anytime a school board may give any indication that they are challenging the Darwinian dogma."
Jan. 2005
Theoretical Expertise Ranking:  Organizations/VIPs/Other
Individuals and organizations that do not fit into the other star categories.
Description:
"Intelligent Design Network, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that seeks institutional objectivity in origins science."
www.intelligentdesignnetwork.org (accessed Oct. 19, 2007)
Mission:
"We believe objectivity in the institutions of science, government and the media will lead not only to good origins science, but also to constitutional neutrality in this subjective, historical science that unavoidably impacts religion. We promote the scientific evidence of intelligent design because proper consideration of that evidence is necessary to achieve not only scientific objectivity but also constitutional neutrality."
