Rawlings said he felt it "imperative" to use his state-of-the-university address to speak out against intelligent design, which he said has "put rational thought under attack."Cornell, and the rest of the Ivy League, has been attacking rational thought decades.

I have to agree with him and I hope more - both on the right and the left - speak out.

Sounds like a dictionary definition of modern environmentalism.

Am I missing something? When did Big Bang and pseudoDarwinism become "valid science"?

Theory of Evolution is pockmarked with holes and unscientific yet it's being taught.

Hunter Rawlings III? My word, what a pish-toshy name.
When do you reckon Hunter last went to a church service?

For those reasons, Rawlings said he felt it "imperative" to use his state-of-the-university address — usually a recitation of the school's progress over the last year — to speak out against intelligent design, which he said has "put rational thought under attack." ID is an effort to say that "if we don't understand it, then God did it". But if God did it, then why would science study an issue further. ID is a fire extinquisher on science.
People used to think that lightning was the direct hand of God. It's good that Franklin didn't leave it at that.
Humans have studied the natural world for 200 years now, and have not found scientific evidence of God yet. There's no reason to think that the current edges of our scientific understanding define where the natural world ends and God begins.

Intelligent design is a theory that says life is too complex to have developed through evolution, implying a higher power must have had a hand That's got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Stop and think about it? How dumb do those ID fruitcakes think we are? I'll bet you that if you look a little deeper into their operation (follow the money), you'll find radical jihadists and Moonies and the like behind their agenda to dumb down science in our schools. I'll bet you!

Once again, a CrEvo thread has degenerated into name calling.
I can sum it up for all of you:
Darwinist: You're an idiot!
Creationist/IDer: No, you are!

Would it strike any conservative (any true conservative - I'm not referring here to Patrick Henry) unusual that a far left CommuDem liberal "educator" who, as a secularist, is a firm believer in social Darwinism and doesn't believe in God, would make a statement like this???
Certainly seems normal to me. Cornell, one of the most evil secularist schools in the world, populated by anti-American socialist maggots, would certainly gravitate towards any theory that promotes randomness versus design.
Always wondered how many drunk, drug-addled, depressed students commit suicide at the Falls each year? At least it would get them out of that hell hole!

God-hating evolutionists misrepresent I.D., while scientifically illiterate I.D. proponents misrepresent evolution.
Same thing as every other Crevo thread.
