Secularists Once Again Call For The Suppression Of Knowledge |
Secularists Once Again Call For The Suppression Of Knowledge

[excerpt]
Since the 1920’s or thereabouts, secularists have invoked the imagery of
the Scopes Monkey Trial as evidence that conservative Evangelicals are bent
on suppressing knowledge in the realms of science and literature.
Most following the news are no doubt aware of the ongoing angst on the part
of unbelievers and Modernists regarding the propriety of introducing
Intelligent Design into the Biology classroom since in their eyes
suggesting anything but the materialist hypothesis (itself a faith-based
assumption) diminishes the rigor of so-called scientific education.
Instead, they suggest such ideas should be considered as part of the Social
Studies or Humanities curriculum.
.... the metaphysical issues within what liberals previously promoted as the
appropriate venue for such a discussion, they then cry Separation of Church
and State. ...

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,
256 U.S. 345, 349, 41 S.Ct. 506, 507, 65 L.Ed. 963 (1921) (Holmes, J.).
