Intelligent Design: Cards On The Table

Big Bang Chimp

Now that the President of the United States has come out in support of Intelligent Design (“ID”), I think it’s time that we started seeing some actual anti-Darwin stalwarts, some hard-hitting ID proponents, on the television. I’m not talking about politicians or pundits – I’m talking about those who would present an actual curriculum. Is the national discussion not about teaching this stuff? Who would write the textbooks? Honestly, even if you’re 100% committed to the idea that ID should be taught to the young and impressionable booger-eaters in our public schools, isn’t it only reasonable to put a face and a name to this fancy new field of study? Seriously. Why don’t we stop the editorializing and get to work? For starters, let’s get folks like Phillip Johnson and William Dembski to go on Meet the Press - or even CNN's American Morning.

Those upright ID believers can’t possibly be using their signature issue merely as a political tool to advance some broader issue... like the establishment of a state-sponsored religion. Can they? No. That would be downright mischievous.

So let’s see your big guns. Lay it out. C’mon. I dare you.

Oops: I forgot to mention Michael Behe, the Dr. Frankenstein of "irreducible complexity". Let's have a bake sale so this dingbat can have a grant to develop a cogent pedagogy.
