For those of you who thought that Jerry Springer was NOT a valid example of the dumbing down of America, I bring you the argument for intelligent design. For those who don’t know, ID (ironic, if you study that blasphemer Freud) is the concept that evolution was guided by a god-figure. And here, I’d always thought there was a place to teach things relating to god; I think they’re called churches, but hey, I’m a Jew, maybe they just molest little kids in those places…

But yes, Intelligent Design, the concept that God actually guided evolution. An intriguing theory; thing is, the argument is a bit one-sided, as some rational people have started pointing out:

“As scientists go about their business, they follow a method,” Pennock said. “Intelligent design wants to reject that and so it doesn’t really fall within the purview of science.”

Pennock said intelligent design does not belong in a science class, but added that it could possibly be addressed in other types of courses.

Makes sense to me. But then, I also think trickle down economics leads to defecit spending, so what do I know?

I will concede ID in schools if churches will start teaching evolution.
