Evolution vs Intelligent Design…. duh

By Murray Bourne, 28 Sep 2005

No point trying to fight religious fundamentalism (the so-called War on Terror) with religious fundamentalism. But that's what Dubya is doing.

The Americans are still debating evolution and some schools require...

ninth-grade students to hear a brief statement about ID [intelligent design] before biology classes on evolution (from a report in eSchool News).

Intelligent design is the belief that we developed as a result of the design of some kind of intelligence. Not surprisingly, Dubya supports this view as his support base comes from the religious right.

It will be interesting to watch evolution take its course as the one remaining superpower inevitably becomes extinct...

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
