Intelligent Design

All the arguments have been had and the jury returned the verdict – Not Science. And that just about sums it up. It is interesting to note that there still are a few schools teaching this as science. In my fair city there is one school who sneakily added it to their science class in the guise of an alternative view. The school is run by the local evangelicals so no real surprises there.

It is, however, shameful and immoral that they have done this. It might be appropriate in their religious instruction class but it is not science therefore it shouldn’t be part of a science class. Personal experience shows that people who say they follow the teachings of a religious organisation have no more morals than those that don’t but acting as a group you would think integrity would win out.

I believe that relativity and quantum mechanics are a poor approximation of reality and that the ultimate theory of everything will be based on information theory. I merely believe this, I haven’t got any proof. Using the arguments of that school my belief should be taught to the kiddies when they talk about physics to give them an alternative view. What crap. I have no proof, I just feel it is right. Maybe one day some one will work it through and show that it is better description of the universe. At that time it becomes a scientific theory. Not a conjecture like ID.

Why would a school deliberately lie to young people and give them a false impression of what science is? Surely, as educated adults, the people responsible for doing this know that it is a faith thing and has no place being a part of a science class. It is shameful. If they are ignorant of what science is then they should have no part in setting a science curriculum. If this is the case then it is just irresponsible.


End of rant.
