Reply #46: Eh, Intelligent design is...

An open statement.

Science can't prove the existance of a number of Phenomina or in other cases discounts things. By present Scientific Standards you don't exist because you can't yet be replicated in a lab perfectly.

Though I will at least give Science credence for some of their knowledge has been expressed in the same form of evidence and direct results from their actions can often be displayed.

Religion though, has a very low success rate that many of these unusual people who still fight so hard to keep religious theories or promote religion in science are only going to hamper the developement of the students further in the sceinces.

As a note on some other things that schools fought in the past that were considered so earth shattering...

Teaching that the world was not the center of the Universe.

Teaching that the Earth was round.

Teaching Evolution.

Things that are still fought in being taught to students.

The truth about The Civil War beyond the politically correct statement and some boring battles.

The truth about HIV Transmission.

The truth about pregnancy and sex.

Sadly, this battle apparently isn't over yet. Science doesn't have all the answers, but, to try to force a theory based upon a erligious text isn't bad science, it's bad politics.

- Personal opinion, I think it is possible that aliens tinkered with our DNA to give us an evolutionary step up or that we could be the result of a very odd experiment. I believe there is something beyond what modern science can explain or is ignoring for the same reasons the church refused to understand that we were not the center of the universe, just our personal universe.
