Should we have Intelligent Design in the classroom?
A group of Christians are trying to have their pet scientific theory of
"Intelligent Design" promoted in schools.
I'm not opposed to Intelligent Design in schools - but the intelligent design I want is in a good curriculum that teaches kids reading, writing and arithmetic - all the intelligent things needed to set them up for thriving in society as adults.
As a Christian, I accept that God created the Universe and everything in it - it's a personal, philosophical belief that can't be easily explained, or proved conclusively. The Science of Evolution is an understanding of the universe and everything in it, not a contradiction any supernatural beliefs.
The Theory of Intelligent Design at best can be called lazy science, but I'm more likely to say it is more an exercise in propaganda than science. And it doesn't belong in any school.
