*zombie face* I ended up staying up literally ALL NIGHT last night studying for the geology and Asian civ tests I had today. I think I did okay on everything but the essay questions in both cases. I hate essay questions ( Read more... )

Ranting about the bullshit of intelligent design is fun. :D

Asian civilization class is going well I think... not sure, as it all depends on that test yesterday. Before that, I had an A on each daily quiz, but that very early midterm could blow it all to hell.
I was reasonably confident though...

I think it's funny how pissed off science-minded people are about ID. I don't care one way or the other, but I must say that the science community's reaction has not been unlike that of a certain religion when it's beliefs were challenged. Perhaps we are not so different? eh?

Would you care enough to read my paper? It looks like you really don't understand the situation.
Main point: Beliefs challenged?? Science =/= belief. Bring belief into science and it is no longer science. And scientific theories are challenged all the time, but it's only taken seriously as scientific objection if it's with observable, testable, evidence, not just belief!
Science cannot test whether ID is true or false. All it is is, "My, this is very complex. I simply can't fathom how this could have evolved. GODDIDIT!" People can believe that all they want. It's totally possible. There's no proof to the contrary. But if it's not science, (and it's most definitely NOT,) don't teach it as science. Don't call it a competing theory with natural selection.

ActuallyI never even refered to science as a belief. I just said that you science fanatics are reacting in the same way that certain religious fanatics reacted when they're beliefs were challenged. My point in saying this is to illustrate to you how certain people do infact use science in the same way that other people use religion, think about it. I'm sure you'll see it sooner or later.

"think about it. I'm sure you'll see it sooner or later." I could say the same thing to you. I think you're still not getting the fundamental differences between religion and science. But whatever...
Care to point out specific similarities? Cause the most I can see is, wow, both react in some way. Both try to do something about it.
But that's like saying Seventeen Magazine is just like A Tale of Two Cities because they're both written in English.

Hmm... I suppose Christians would react similarly if the government decreed that Darwinian evolution had to be taught in Sunday School. But that's not the case...
