Intelligent Design: Not So Intelligent
A Thinly Veiled “Creationism”-Substitute Tries To Pass For Science
The poor Religion-battered state of Kansas is up to it’s neck in more religious blather. Members of the Kansas State School Board, nine of who are also prominent religious, now want to install “Intelligent Design” as a science class in Kansas Public Schools. There’s only one problem though. Intelligent Design is not science, it’s Creation. Unlike Science, Intelligent Design has absolutely no evidence, and there’s nothing what-so-ever to back up that we have been created by a supernatural being. Intelligent Design, if anything, qualifies as a religious class, not science.
What is Intelligent Design exactly? Intelligent Design is basically the proposition (and belief) that all things were originally designed by a “Creator.”. Supporters believe everything on Earth is too complex to have been here by chance. They believe an “intelligent” creator created all of us. This conveniently overcomes all the science conflits in the bible, basically saying a “creator” created us, as well as all the scientific laws (be in gravity, evolution etc)
There is one difference between Intelligent Design, and Creation. Creation says that the Christian God created us with simplicity (just read Genesis in the Bible), where as Intelligent Design says that an intelligent “creator” (basically implying GOD, but without saying it) created us, nature, scientific laws and all of life’s complex biological structures. So ID is basically a fusion of science and creation.
By offering this more modern alternative to the ancient allegations of Creationism in the Bible, they (the Kansas School Board) say Intelligent Design qualifies as a science course and want it taught in public school science classes. Doing so would clearly be odd. Here you have a science book full of scientific facts that can all be backed up with scientific evidence, and then here comes ID, which is simply a claim, and a belief, that will stick out like a sore thumb in a science book..
A true science defender science asked his opponent: “If this designer of yours is so intelligent why did he/she give men nipples? And the Prostate Gland which is in the worst possible location wrapped around a urethra and causes severe problems. What about disease, infirmities and the like. Why would an intelligent designer design cancer to kill off his human creations?” These are all good points. Just more to throw on the huge mountain of evidence that can back Evolution up.
Intelligent Design, to me, looks more like a religious back door, just another method to convert non-believers. Supporters of ID, I’m assuming, are starting to see Science as their biggest enemy, because it’s the one thing that is consistently disproving Creation. So their action to take will naturally be to try and forge their beliefs in the system of science. Good luck.
Believing in Intelligent Design is just giving up all together. They believe the world is too complicated to figure out through Science, so why bother trying? Look at how far we’ve come in the last 100 years, from the Wright Brothers, to today’s space craft and computers. Teaching Intelligent Design in the classroom would set us back, and halt our on-going progression and understanding of the world (and the universe). I guess you could say we are long over due for another Dark Ages…
