Poke in the Eye of Darwin

This is nothing more than an attempt to get a religious idea taught as science. Nothing more, nothing less.

The US, surprisingly enough, have already had the forsight to remove it from their scientific curriculum given that they have a long standing seperation of religion from state.

The theory of evolution is quite simply a theory, which in scientific terms is held quite highly. Intelligent Design (creationism to you and me) barely ranks as a scientific hypothesis, and should have nothing to do with science

Oddly however you do not get the same religious arguments when it comes to the "Theory of gravity" (also just a theory). Not many Christians are suggesting that the earth sucks.

Indeed! Happy Birthday!

The thing about ID is that it isn't anywhere close to being a scientific theory, despite being dressed up as one, as any theory must be experimentaly verifiable and disprovable neither of which can be said of ID.

There was quite an interesting Doonesbury a while ago that related to this.
