That said, I agree that people should be "taught" about both,
as well as about religion.

Exactly. Children should learn about evolution in science class, and about
intelligent design in whichever class they learn about Apollo dragging the
sun across the sky with his chariot.


The major things I find wrong with intelligent design are A: it
implies a designer. Okay. Wouldn't that equate with a god or
committee of gods? Spooky. And then there's B: where this
intelligent design leads. Are we what it was supposed to lead to? The
absolute best that this god / these gods could come up with over
billions of years? Not very good at their work, in that case.

Or do we have to pull back our egos and admit that there are stages
and stages to go and we aren't the top of it all? I can't see most
humans, much less the very religious who back intelligent design being
willing to do that.

I can't say I'm in favour of either A or B. I'll go with evolution
for $50, Bob.
