A Most Ironic New Name for Creationism
The new name for creationism is most ironic, I must say. Am I the only one that sees the irony? Intelligent Design? It's like they were sick of looking unintelligent so they decided to come up with another name, but the best they could come up with was to just put the word "intelligent" in the name. Not a very intelligent name.
How does one "teach" Intelligent Design? Point out everything uncanny about the world and say, "See, doesn't it seem like there's some 'intelligence' behind that?" Evolution has fossils and now "amazing digital organizms":http://derekgulbranson.com/2005/08/06/digital-organisms-refute-intelligent-design to study. What does Intelligent Design have for science students to study? Intelligent Design is an opinion, a faith, not a science. It's the exact kind of thing science was created to save us from.
I used to look around the world and think, there is no way that all this could have just _happened_. We go from hydrogen atoms all the way to buildings and societies, and our only explanation is just random mutations and time? I guess the more I learn about the world and how it works and the evidence behind that, the more start to feel like the world really is that crazy and amazing, no "Giant Spaghetti Monster":http://www.venganza.org/ is needed.
Creation was the only theory we had before we had science. The Church inflicted death on anyone that came up with another theory. I think it wasn't until the 1800's that the Catholic Church finally let Galileo out of hell for saying the world was round. So, I wouldn't look to the religious right for answers about the true nature of the universe. It's not very open source or democratic over there. Just lots of being offended and fearful when someone poses ideas that threaten their house of cards. Anyone that believes things don't evolve is an idiot. Evolution happens, you can debate when/how/where/what, but you can't just say it doesn't happen.

Watch subject. Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? What is he doing to us, and what is he doing to the world?
Our country is in debt until forever, we don’t have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths.
We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do!
