nonlinearperspectives: November 2009
http://nonlinearperspectives.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
This blog is intended as a space where perspectives on the legalization of drugs can be presented, discussed, defended, or overturned. It is the hope of the writer that an advanced understanding of drug legalization will be eventually reached through a constructive synthesis of perspectives pertinent to the issue-at-hand. Monday, November 2, 2009. My first post was titled “Would you legalize drugs? Moral, and legal reasons for the legalization of marijuana, despite arguments to the contrary. At best, but...

Saturday, October 31, 2009. As I have been blogging, I have also been following a few of my classmates' blogs. Here are just a few of the ones that have grabbed my attention:.

In the Image of What?: First-hand Account of Creationism in the Classroom
http://intheimageofwhat.blogspot.com/2009/11/first-hand-account-of-creationism-in.html
In the Image of What? Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Creationism in American Education. Monday, November 9, 2009. First-hand Account of Creationism in the Classroom. In my sophomore biology class, a large portion of the textbook was designed as an attack on evolution. It set up an impossibly vast variety of straw-men arguments, such as the claim that evolution is the claim that life came from non-life. UPDATE: One of these days I'll remember to form actual paragraphs on the first go. End of the Line.

In the Image of What?: Implications of an Unresolved Debate

In the Image of What? Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Creationism in American Education. Monday, November 9, 2009. Implications of an Unresolved Debate. The two sides of this debate are heavily polarized. I’ve already theorized possible ways to end the debate, with a focus on educating the general public on evolution and of the debate itself. But what lies in store if the debate remains unsolved? Another implication, even more unsettling than the first, is the issue of civil rights. If this matter isn...

In the Image of What?: Creationism in Europe: A Brief Look
http://intheimageofwhat.blogspot.com/2009/11/united-states-and-europe-have-very.html
In the Image of What? Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Creationism in American Education. Monday, November 9, 2009. Creationism in Europe: A Brief Look. Citing the dangers of teaching creationism. The resolution is congruent with what I’ve been blogging about; they don’t consider any form of creationism to be science and are of the opinion that teaching it in the classroom as science is dangerous. I think an important factor is the secularization of Europe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Media...

In the Image of What? Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Creationism in American Education. Sunday, November 1, 2009. What we can learn from Scopes. A quick summary of the case: It was set up by the American Civil Liberties Union in order to challenge the Tennessee’s then-new Butler Act. A three-time presidential candidate noted for his oratory and a devout Presbyterian; the defense was headed by Clarence Darrow. A famous lawyer and self-identified agnostic.

In the Image of What? Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Creationism in American Education. Monday, November 2, 2009. Here’s an interesting but admittedly entertaining video that should set the following context into discussion (note the association of evolution with atheism, and the persecution complex that follows):. In addition to sincere belief in the veracity of their claims (whether or not they recognize them as scientific), creationists have a tendency to appeal to fairness. I can think of no bett...
