Unintelligent Design

"Judge Jones agreed that Darwin's theory of evolution is imperfect. "However, the fact that a scientific theory cannot yet render an explanation of every point should not be used as a pretext to thrust an untestable hypothesis grounded in religion into the science classroom or to misrepresent well-established scientific propositions.""

Judge Jones is saying that one "untestable" hypothesis, Intelligent Design, is less provable than the theory of evolution? To date, evolution still hasn't been proven, and many of it's attempts have been exposed as hoaxes. Yet he'd rather thrust this "scientific" falsehood on our school kids! Why don't we also go back to teaching that the world is flat ---- oh yeah, we've proven that's not true.

"U.S. District Court Judge John Jones said the decision of the Dover School Board to introduce intelligent design into the classroom violated the constitutional protection of the separation of church and state."

Again, the judge has mis-spoke. Remember your history? The Pilgrims came to North America to escape religious persecution from the government run churches in Europe. They determined that the government would no longer control the church. There is absolutely nothing that says that the church cannot be involved in government, though. This is a misconception that's been passed down, and accepted by nearly everyone. And admittedly, it's a very convenient method of excluding moralty and conscience from everyday life.

Evolution is a powerful belief. Yes, I said belief. Or religion. Many people place their faith in the possibility that it's true. Without a deity to impose morality, people are free to do as they want. How far do you think AIDs would spread if promiscuity and homosexuality weren't socially acceptable today? Morality. It can stop a lot, yet few want it.

Faith (sometimes called 'religion'), is defined as "believing in something unseen." Or "Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence." Sounds like intelligent design, right? Well, geuss what, it also applies to evolution. Judge Jones has made the decision as to what faith will be taught in public schools -- one unproven and demeaning -- evolution.

The author Frank Peretti once said "Our kids sit in a class learning that they came goo for no apparent purpose, then when the bell rings, they head down the hall to a class on self-esteem."
Enough said.

The Big Bang theory. But what about....?

The Big Bang. It all started there. Maybe.

Scientists have a desire to believe the Big Bang theory of how our universe, and ultimately us, came into being. But, as NASA says in it's Big Bang website,

"Although the Big Bang Theory is widely accepted, it probably will never be proved; consequentially, leaving a number of tough, unanswered questions."

According to a UC Berkeley website on the Big Bang,

" .... the presence of incredibly large amounts of energy, in the form of photons."

So, it all started from a large amount of energy, or photons. Okay, where did the photons come from? Well, that's a mystery in it's self. They preface the previous statement with the comment " It is hard to imagine the very beginning of the Universe. " Yep, I would agree. Especially when your explanation has to provide a way for evolution.

The truth is, the universe, and all that is in it, was created. From nothing, to a fully functioning earth in seven days.

Is that so much harder to believe, than saying "incredibly large amounts of energy came from somewhere, then for some reason started to change into other forms of energy, which then resulted in a large explosion, that ended up forming suns, and planets, and nebulae, and then a sun of the appropriate size formed, along with planets that orbited it, and one planet happened to be just the right distance from it, and happened to have all the right material on it to allow a goo to form, which eventually became people."

Nope. It makes more sense to me that someone planned this whole thing, than to believe it was all just luck.
