Intelligent design lacks intelligence (Barf)

Biology just created itself. Amazing.

[SteveMcKing]

Both Creationists and Evolutionists despise Intelligent Design.

It's always fun trying to guess which side they are on when they trash it.

I'm a monkey with a drivers license.

Cool.

[From many - one.]

Not a barf.

Evolution is what scientists use to study much of biology.

ID and Creation do not belong in science classes because there is no scientific approach to studying them.

I have somehow managed to avoid most ID/evo discussions but after listening to the "science" teacher at my kids grade school (Jupiter Christian Academy) explain ID I am now very concerned.

Can someone clarify this authors statement :The problem is "we've got people who think the Earth is 6,000 years old and that God put the fossils in the ground,"

Is this representative of the ID argument?

[SteveMcKing]

I guess people aren't allowed to believe the same thing for different reasons.

They have be the same reasons, and exactly the right way ("Oh - which just happens to be MY way!"), or else you can't reach the same conclusions independently... That's just not allowed!

"And allowing creationists to undermine the teaching of science through some misguided demand for equal classroom time for a supposition that has nothing to do with science is hardly benign."

Pure editorializing on the part of the reporter.

ID and Creation do not belong in science classes because there is no scientific approach to studying them.

This is my concern - faith is a gift and when there is a need to find scientific support for faith something is wrong.

Why does this have a barf alert?

[Rudder]

"...most Americans are clueless about basic science. With most people content with being scientifically illiterate, it's no wonder so many believe intelligent design is a scientific theory."

The article nails it.

"...most Americans are clueless about basic science. With most people content with being scientifically illiterate, it's no wonder so many believe intelligent design is a scientific theory."

We're smart, your dumb, we know what is best for your children.

Thank you, most sincerely, for your post.

I keep saying this but not as clearly.

[Sam's Army]

"We're smart, your dumb, we know what is best for your children."

And your wallet.

[Physicist]

We're smart, your dumb

What about my dumb?

[Noslrac]

..and....your perfectly free to have your religion...its fine really....just DON'T go trying to apply it to the world around you.

[GACS]

"its like believing in feet and not miles"...
That is the problem...they take mico-evolution and try to stretch the evidence "a mile" to fit their God-less beliefs.

[Noslrac]

What about my dumb? I can't tell you.....but it involves something long ago...and far away. Just trust me on this one.

[Physicist]

Pure editorializing on the part of the reporter.

But then, it is an editorial.

[Dog Gone]

It's a common misunderstanding that those who believe in evolution necessarily do not believe in God.
