Re: GWB endorses teaching \"intelligent design\" to schoolchildren!
[ QUOTE ]
G-Dub is an oilman, right? Where does he think that all that oil came from? [/ QUOTE ] The argument for this is often along the lines of 'god put em there to test our faith by giving an alternative explanation of how we got here' or similar. At least, that's how they explain carbon dating, dinosaur fossil ages etc etc If I believed in God, I'd be insulted by this, makes him sound like some enourmous trickster ('better leave some dinosaur bones here to keep em on their toes....'. But then, I've never understood why you need to believe in the garden of Eden, the ark, that there's only been 6000 years of existence etc et to believe in God, but that's 'isms' for ya (in this case Christian fundamentalism). I gotta stop adding to this thread - it's ridiculous!

Re: GWB endorses teaching \"intelligent design\" to schoolchildren!
I have no objection to teaching "intelligent design" in public schools -- in a philosophy or comparative religion class. Teaching it in a science class, however, is absurd. "Intelligent design" is a religious or philosphical theory. It is not a scientific theory, because there is no experiment or data gathering process which can verify or falsify it.
