What do they say about those who don’t learn from history? The words doomed and repeat are usually thrown around.
Over 80 years after the last evolution vs. creationism trial, we’ve back to where we started, as the right-wing nuts try to get intelligent design into the science curriculum. Here’s the insidious plan, courtesy of CNN:
District policy requires school administrators to read a statement before classes on evolution that says Charles Darwin’s theory is “not a fact” and has inexplicable “gaps.” It refers students to an intelligent-design textbook for more information.
Intelligent design holds that Darwin’s theory of natural selection over time cannot fully explain the origin of life or the emergence of highly complex life forms. It implies that life on Earth was the product of an unidentified intelligent force.
I’m not going to sit here and rant against people who think we come from apes…even my students know that’s NOT what evolution means.
But I will say this: the mere existence of George W. Bush convinces me there is nothing INTELLIGENT about the design of the universe!
