Comments on: The Intelligent Design Wedge http://intelligentstandards.com/wp/2007/08/23/the-intelligent-design-wedge/ Offering a unique point of view - just like everyone else Sun, 05 Sep 2010 18:06:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Dave http://intelligentstandards.com/wp/2007/08/23/the-intelligent-design-wedge/#comment-10 Dave Fri, 05 Oct 2007 00:11:18 +0000 http://intelligentstandards.com/wp/2007/08/23/the-intelligent-design-wedge/#comment-10 I like the idea that pictures say more than words. If I didn't have the pictures, I guess I could write a thesis. Hence the short rant. Besides - a long rant will only validate those who agree that evolution makes the most sense as a scientific theory (which itself is evolving). And it will go nowhere with our friends on the side of the religious right, who are already committed, deeply and unshakably, to their view. My REAL beef would be with those who think we ought to teach creationism, "Intelligent Design", or some variant along side evolution as if it were a valid competing scientific theory. It's fine to teach the 'alternative theories' - but those teachings should administered in a religious context - but not as if it were science. I like the idea that pictures say more than words.

Were you rear ended by a member of the religious right? This is shorter than a /. post... Hum, while I agree with you, it seems to me a very odd and, well, brief rant.
