Today a U.S. District Judge rendered the teachings of Intelligent Design unsuitable inappropriate for classrooms in America.
It’s odd for anyone to even consider teaching what clearly belongs to theology and religion in the realm of science. NPR (again) did a very well researched story on the subject matter. And of course, not that I have anything against people of religious faith, but I think politics, religion and everything else should just leave science alone. How sad is it that it took a court to decide what’s science and what’s not. And furthermore, IF the court ruled in favor of the creationists (or the pro-intelligent design camp), where will American scientific creativity and curiosity go? Isn’t exploring the unknown a crucial key to driving technological and scientific advances? By having Intelligent Design in the science curriculum, it’s basically just saying that some things are impossible to find out, and that’s attributed to the Intelligent Design.
Just leave science alone!
