Vote - Evolution, Intelligent Design, Neither
Of course I believe in intelligent design, are you kidding me. I mean, for the love of God, would I ever in a million years think that the picture my lovely 2 year old handed me and called the "bitsy bitsy spider" was random?? No. I see the way she thought out the posing of the legs and that she desires to make known her understanding that they are needed for walking...and why did she draw three spiders? are they friends? did she feel they needed friends? will i ever know? why does one have two distinct eyes and one not have any at all? Is one blind in her mind? Why all the squiggles around them and highlights of different color? am I to write them off as just "accidental markings?" but you see, I cannot, because this is my child who handed me this magnificent creation. And she even told me "look mom, it's the bitsy bitsy spider..." who am I to renounce that? And that which her picture has so evidently proven? I am no one, and neither are we. Our father has handed us lovingly beautiful pictures of landscapes, spacescapes, humanscapes, colorscapes, emotionscapes, musicscapes, passionscapes, etc., and yet we still DARE to question what the heck they are -- random, evolution, mere happenstance? What the heck? So of course I am the LAST person you'd want to enter into such a discussion, but because I am a lover of science and the OALI of such, I could completely concur they are best left to separate courses, but I'd also be the first to tell you that every single day you witness the biggest and most amazing observation and logical inference you will ever make -- and that is the next breath you just took.
Either we allow for an honest and open discussion of all relative THEORIES of origins, or we just take this out of our schools' science programs. Talk to any of the leading microbiologists and they will tell you how evolution cannot account for the miraculous and marvelous intricacies of cellular structures. Pair them up with a mathmatician and they will show you the improbable numbers of a "Big Bang" being able to bring biological life into being. So take your pick, talk about Evolution, talk about GOD, talk about intelligent design (which could include aliens), you name it, it now becomes a philosophy class on origins. Which is really where it should have been all along. STOP teaching evolution as FACT because it is rife with unsupported evidences.
You know, there are some facts in the Bible that are able to be proven in the world today, anyone who's interested can go to www.an swersingenesis.org/ which is an extremely creationist site online, they prove evolution both unrelated to the bible and absolutely false and they also teach how creation has more evidence in it's favor than evolution. I'm not saying that creation is provable, but evolution is definately disprovable.
I wouldn't go to answers in genesis as a reliable source. Most of the content is considered pseudoscience which means it looks or tries to appear as looking like a science but it doesn't follow the scientific method or have supporting evidence or plausibility. On the other hand The theory (scientific definition of a theory)of evolution has supporting evidence and has undergone scientific testing unlike creationism.
there is no way to even test Intelligent Design to see if it could work that is the number one reason it should never be part of school
The hteory of evolution has proof and evidence just piling up while intelligent design has none whatsoever. I think that this is a shut case.
The "theory" of evolution needs some competition.
