2. John Sigler, Denver, 80201
3. Tracy Bates, Littleton, 80128
4. Michael Williams, 80017
5. Rev. Rebecca Booher, Pueblo, 81003
6. Hon. Art Goodtimes, 81423, I prefer Heidegger's intelligent dasein to any form of creationism, which may belong as a religious theory in churches and their private schools, not our public system.
7. John Orr, 80212
8. Gordon Hoffman, Colorado Springs, 80904
9. Jim Yount, Manitou Springs, 80829
10. Beverly R. DeVore-Wedding, 81641
11. Robin Kunze, 80237, I am in total agreement with the petition's statement, in particular, the call for proper separation of disciplines.
12. John R. Dorgan, Golden, 80401, Science is about the specifics of how physiochemical and biological processes take place and invokes a specific methodology involving testable hypotheses that is absent in philosophical and religious arguments. These two types of intellectual inquiry (science versus philisophy) are separate and distinct and must be presented as such in the schools.
13. Shane Burns, Colorado Springs, 80904
14. Dr. David Brown, Asst. Professor of Mathematics, Colorado College 80903
15. William W. Adams III, 80027
16. Minette C. Church, Ph.D., Colorado Springs, 80926, Introducing I.D. into the high school science curriculum will only further handicap United States college freshmen in the sciences, especially in relation to their peers in other industrialized countries. This gap already sets the stage for huge future problems - why make it worse?
17. Christopher S. Beekman, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, University of Colorado at Denver, 80217
18. Catherine Gaither, Ph.D., 80217, Faith, i.e. the existence of god or any supernatural entity, is not subject to testing via scientific methodology. To teach faith-based belief as science will severely handicap the children of Colorado should they seek employment in science based occupations in the future.
19. Monte Helm, 81301
20. Dr. Brian Burke, 81301, The best gift we can give our children is the ability to think critically, which includes a clear understanding of the differences between science and faith.
21. Russell Walker, 81506
22. Dr. Lisa Angeloni, 80525
23. Dr. Peter K. Dorhout, PhD, Chemistry Professor, 80526 As a religious scientist, I am supportive of teaching tested scientific hypotheses in science classes and religious philosophy and/or dogma in church. Intelligent Design is an insult to religious philosophy as it assigns a human quality (intelligence) to a higher power. It is an untested hypothesis without scientific basis and therefore does not belong being part of a science curriculum in any public or private school science class. I am in favor of a preemptive strike to legislate the exclusion of any religious philosophy from being taught in a science classroom.
24. Mark Eberhart, 80206
25. Jeffrey S. Kieft, Ph.D., 80238
26. Robert S. Hodges, 80220
27. Neal Sullivan, 80303
28. Paul Robert Owens, 80118
29. Shan Hays, 81230, Science is a philosphical worldview whose knowledge base is composed only of theories which have made predictions that have been tested and have been found to be correct. Therefore, nontestable hypotheses do not belong in classes that are supposed to cover scientific subjects.
30. Trina M. Burgermeister, 80634
31. Tom Blumenthal, 80302
32. Robin Bingham, 81230
33. Michael F. Antolin, Professor of Biology, 80524
34. Megan Houtchens, 80922
35. Nathan Bower, Colorado Springs, 80903, It is healthy for religion to inform choices about technology and for science to research religious history and miracles. But neither can claim they are the only source of truth or we trap ourselves in the ignorance of earlier eras.
36. Darna Dufour, 80303
37. Charles Tabor, 81503
38. Laura E. Cummins, Ph.D., 81506
39. Thomas Wynn, Professor of Anthropology, CU Colorado Springs, 80933
40. Dr. Tom LaFehr, 81503, Every legislator, and informed citizen, should read "Why Intelligent Design Fails" edited by Colorado's own Dr. Matt Young (Colorado School of Mines).
41. J. Douglas Way, 80303
42. David Anderson, 80926, Good luck, guys. Keep up the good work.
43. Rebecca J. Bilodeau, Loveland, 80537
44. Ruth Hufbauer, 80521
45. William J Waugh, 81503
46. Werner Heim, 80903, Remember, however, that a supernatural intervenor could intervene importantly in natural processes provided the intervention is undetectable. Suppose mouse has important mutation that intervenor does not like: Owl has a good mouse dinner.
47. Jennifer Nyborg, 80524
48. Joel Rovnak, 80521
49. Patrica Bedinger, Professor of Biology, Colorado State University, 80526
50. Robert Melamede, 80907, If I can be of assistance, let me know. Far from equilibrium thermodynamic negate the main arguments of ID.
51. David M. Mills, Monument, CO 80132
52. Carole Mills, Monument, CO 80132
53. Paul Kuerbis, 80919
54. Dr. Mary Van Buren, 80524
55. Ken Larner, University Emeritus Professor of Geophysics, Colorado School of Mines, 80439, The scientific method seeks truth by hypothesis aimed at developing theory, experimentation, verification by others, peer review of its arguments and tests, and prediction, always on the lookout for flaws or shortcomings in current theory that can lead to improvements in the theory and in understanding. Because ID satisfies none of these elements of the scientific method, it is not science and students should not be led to think otherwise.
56. Rev. Gregory Garland, 80005
57. Chester J. Dymek, 80918, ID is a broad enough theology to be included in sermons or Sunday Schools, but it has no scientific basis.
58. Greg Davidson, Coalmot, CO 80430, Please keep teaching of ID in religous bases classes where it belongs!
