Rant 113: Intelligent Design

[Irreverend Hugh, KSC]

Speaking at the annual conference of the National Association of Science Writers, John Marburger III, Science Advisor to the President, fielded an audience question about "Intelligent Design" (ID), the latest supposedly scientific alternative to Charles Darwin's theory of descent with modification. The White House's chief scientist stated point blank, "Intelligent Design is not a scientific theory." And that's not all -- as if to ram the point home, Marburger soon continued, "I don't regard Intelligent Design as a scientific topic."

At least there's one member of Bush's cabinet who's not a complete moron.

Place bets on how long it takes before he's fired or 'leaves for better opportunities' ?

He'll either be fired. Or he'll be fired and we'll be sharing space in the same concentration camp with him after the Fundies take complete control.

Bravo Hugh,right on the money.
"Intelligent design" has been a feature of many pagan beliefs since the dawn of time.But are these christian fanatics willing to allow their children to learn different beleif structures?
Whenever some slimeball politition jumps on the "I.D." bandwagon,we should send them a whole bunch of different "Evolution theories/ outrageous religious propaganda" and demand that the teaching of our various cults/covens/cabals be taught in school.If the Xtians insist on the bible being taught in science class,we should insist on the Kama Sutra being taught in sex-ed.

Haven't you heard?  Sex is bad.  No one decent has sex.  Sex should be avoided at all cost.

Sex education?  No such thing, for sex should not exist.

Not unless you buy your neighbor's daughter for thirty shekels.

[East Coast Hustle]

You know, Indiana may be a hotbed of Republicanism, but sometimes we
get something right. A while ago some locals got all hot about teaching
Creationism in the schools, so one local school district added a course
in comparative religion to its high school courses. The hubbub died down
and eventually the school dropped the course for lack of interest.

And, oh yeah, remember the people going through the divorce where
the judge told them they could not teach their kid Wicca? Got overturned
on appeal.

Toldja it would.

...as soon as it hit a court where the judges don't worry about elections.

THE SSOOKN SAYS:

STOP STATE SPONSORED SEXUAL STUPIDITY


Silver 'slut' rings availble from the O.B.

[East Coast Hustle]

I will wear a silver slut ring, if such a thing exists IRL.

[LMNO]

Is it ok if my silver slut ring looks suspiciously like a wedding band?

[Mangrove]

i will find you one...and if not...i will make one and send it to you, courtesy of the finest craftspeople at SSOOKN...(it's actually a sweatshop but we don't like using that word as it puts off some investors)

[agent compassion]

But what does any of this have to do with Flying Spaghetti Monsterism?

And is it ok if my silver slut ring has a pentagram on it?
