Intelligent Design IS a gaping hole
Evolution has "gaping holes".
Intelligent design IS a gaping hole.
"To explain the origin of the DNA/protein machine by invoking a supernatural Designer is to explain precisely nothing, for it leaves unexplained the origin of the Designer. You have to say something like 'God was always there', and if you allow yourself that kind of lazy way out, you might as well just say 'DNA was always there', or "Life was always there', and be done with it." --Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker : Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe without Design p. 141 Buy the book Link
In other words, evolution may have gaps in the scientific chain, but ID is a big, fat, lazy NOTHING perpetrated by big, fat, lazy and meaningless thinkers who want to infiltrate our schools with religious dogma. If my children were still in school, I'd have them opt out of any science class that would teach ID or creationism as science, the same way any parents could opt their kids out of any health education that they felt was not in keeping with their faiths.
ID and creationism are religious dogma. I am not an anti-religious zealot, unless you think that the separation of church and state constitutes anti-religiousness, which is specious and disengenuous and outright bushshit, I mean bullshit, at best. "
