Our Geology guy, Andrew Alden, has been closely tracking the court battle in Pennsylvania over the right to teach Intelligent Design in high school science classes. Teaching ID in a science class is such a bad idea, to insist that teachers teach something that has no evidence for it whatsoever--and never will--that I find myself speechless. Either that or ranting at the top of my voice that if this passes, the next generation of adults will be unable to differentiate between science and religion, and just when we need them. The world is an unstable place, and writing off whole chunks of it because "the watchmaker" is more complicated than we can imagine is just a huge copout from our responsibilities to attempt to make the world livable for all the people who live on it, not just those that call themselves Christians and believe they will be saved in the afterlife.
(ahem). See? Can't be done. Fortunately, Andrew has it down.
