Re: Opinions... Did you really need to interject that opinion? Nope. Regardless of one's personal religious beliefs, Intelligent design is not science, it's a PR term used to sell lawmakers on the validity of teaching creationism in the classroom. The Exaflood is also not science, it's a telecom PR term used to sell lawmakers on industry deregulation.
With all due respect to belief systems, and a fervent belief that people should be able to believe whatever they like, I do think the reference is necessary to illuminate how the group in question (the Discovery Institute) is paid by clients to use pseudo-science in influencing policy and political circles. |

I'm all for freedom of religion, but ID is neither religion nor is it science. ID is propaganda in my opinion. |

"The "Exaflood" myth, cooked up by the same think tank that brought you intelligent design, ..."
Try reading that literally and you'll find the Discovery Institute is the source of intelligent design? Heh. That's a lot of credit.  |
