You're not supposed to admit that in public - you're supposed to pretend it could have been aliens or mad scientists or something.
The problem is that it is in a science class. ID is better suited for philosophy or theology. Science is incapable of investigating and answering questions regarding spirituality. If this is in a science class, then a meaningful discussion can ensue when ID theory comes up with the origins of the designer. ID only puts off the origin of life to something else, but where did that something else come from? How can we quantify the effects of "designer" or do we just let science slide back to the dark ages when "God made it so" was the only unquestioned answer? If that's the case, then the U.S. can kiss its technological and scientific legacy good bye. Time to import more H1Bs that understand how things work becasue our children won't.
Yes, as traditionalist Catholics well know, this has been consistent Church teaching. It's right out of the catechisms.
BUMP.
Nope. Intelligent Design = the Zarke, who were designed by the Ganicci, who were designed by the Yolata, who.... and if the past runs on forever it never stops because it never starts.
On the other hand, if the Universe did start at some point, then it all traces back to the Quitlokee, who started when the Universe did: much more elegant than supposing an extra-Universal God who waited forever just to kick creation in the backside.
Mind you, I believe in God; I even believe that proof of the existence of God is easy. But 'Intelligent Design' ain't it.
Thank God.
Freud is dead. Marx is dead. Darwin's dying. It's a good way to wrap up the 20th century.
