Modern Design Theory
Right now, in America, the Cretin Army is fast taking back ground in our educational system lost in a battle that occurred nearly a century ago. I know this because everyday lately I happen upon a story in a newspaper, or on a television show, telling me so.
Maybe you've read or heard something too.
Intelligent Design: the complexities of the natural world are, well, just too damned complex to have been achieved through the mechanisms of evolution. Therefore, these intricacies must have been, simply, designed.
By what? By whom? That's up to the individual to ponder. Nobody is trying to sell god in our public schools.
Invariably, though, most Americans arrive at god. But proponents of the theory (theory?) don't push the matter either way. After a wink and a nudge, they rely twice on the stupidity of certain people: the first time, when they sell the theory; the second time, when you conclude that god plopped everything down on Earth basically as it is, tossing to the wayside one of the most compelling disciplines of modern science.
Our President believes that Intelligent Design should be taught, without mention of god, alongside evolution in public schools, just as an alternative. He's not up to anything nefarious, he just believes that the theory of evolution doesn't hold water.
Perhaps we are able to find some basic examples of flora and fauna altering themselves over long periods of time, but it's all very superficial according these ersatz scientists. Science and evolution just cannot explain the most intricate and subtle workings of most organisms or, at least, how they came to possess certain complex functionalities.
The state of Kansas, well-known for its sunflowers and tornadoes, is spearheading the fight by introducing legislation in its own government to have Intelligent Design taught along side Darwinism. God - I mean, Intelligent Designer, help us!
It's fascinating, because I don't believe in some of these wild ideas propounded by so-called meteorologists. I don't believe in "high" and "low" pressure "systems," or in any of the various kinds of "fronts" they claim hover in our "atmosphere."
I believe that tornados in Kansas occur when the Intelligent Designer flushes his toilet. I also believe that sunflowers are actually made of sun.
Is that wrong?

you have got to be kidding! no offence, but americans!!! *throws up hands*
None taken.
Not all Americans are fundamentals trying to sneak religion into a publicly funded school....Personally I believe in God AND science but think only one should be taught in public schools. I don't think religion should feel threatened by research, investigation, controlled study, and proven FACTS ....or should they? We need to stand up to these people before this country is full of even more uneducated zealots who try to push everyone else around.

Hi, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
MORE BLOGGING, PLEASE!!!
Knock knock, you there?
er... disconcerting to know what some minds in the world's most powerful country are up to. Could this be the beginning of a fantastic future where millions of us bow down in worship during snow fall, in awe of the Intelligent Designer's magnificient work with each and every snowflake? Or maybe the complexity of our fingerprints themselves would be too difficult to comprehend and fanatic IDists would have neural shock if they just looked at the palms of their hands and wondered...
