Intelligent Design?

[Augie]

Hi folks,

Most people believe in Darwin's theory of evolution. Here in America, many Christian Conservatives and the religious right are embracing a new theory called "intelligent design". Just because they don't understand certain things and because certain pieces are missing from the evolutionary puzzle, they insist that there must be an "intelligent" or "higher" being guiding human evolution.

This is ridiculous. 500 years ago and 2,000 years ago, we didn't understand certain things. Science has given us an answer to many of these questions. The same thing will happen in the future. Just because we don't understand certain things doesn't mean that there must be a god.

I call this theory "retarded design". Guess who is embracing this theory? That's right. Pres. Bush (the "King of all Retards"). He is insisting that this theory be taught in schools. What a f**king Retard!!!

Hi folks,

I have some good news to report.

Christian Conservatives and the religious right in the town of Dover, PA sued to force the "Intelligent Design" (bullshit!!!) theory to be taught in its schools. It made national headlines and even appeared on "Nightline" with Ted Koppel. The ACLU even got involved.

Recently, it went all the way to the PA state Supreme Court. The presiding judge struck down the lawsuit. In his statement, he basically told the Christian Conservatives and the religious right that they can't force schools to teach Intelligent Design (ID). He also basically called the ID theory a load of bullshit. He stated that it has no scientific basis, and that it is just another phrase for "creationism".

Hoooray!!!!! I'd like to shake that guy's hand.

Victory at last (at least in one state - the state I hope to be living in someday)!!!

Hi folks,

I was reading the newspaper a few months ago, and I saw something very disturbing.

Some Christian Conservative students have been "brainwashed" since they were small children. These students are now harrassing their high school biology teachers and college biology professors who are trying to teach the theory of evolution. These students often disrupt the class and insist that evolution didn't happen. They believe in "intelligent design". These students have gotten so disruptive that it is interfering with their teachers' and professors' ability to teach.
