Nothing intelligent about anti Religous zealots

Please note, this is not an attack on Myrrander, who posted the article that inspired this one: Nothing Intelligent about 'Intelligent Design', but my tolerance for people that have absolutely no tolerance of religion in the classroom is gone.

I posted many articles in the past (linked here for example: Lets start a conversation... Church and State and...) and I've seen others such as Little_Whips currently hot topic thread on the subject as well.

The supposed progressives (using that word, rather than the L- word) among us find plenty to fume over when the topic of "intelligent design" comes up as an affront to their beloved evolutionary theories as if even the mere mention of the possibility that a higher authority may have had a role in our existence is so horrific that it cannot, nay, must not be tolerated and allowed to happen at all.

What is it about the possible existence of a higher authority that so badly rubs the feathers of these progressives the wrong way? Do the really have such an ego as to believe they must be the top of the chain, and nothing could possibly top them? If so, then how will they feel when evolution continues and in just a few generations they are looked at as idiots from the 21st century?

Honestly, I feel sorry for people that are so, hmmm, searching for the right word here, I guess "twisted" will have to do, that they can't tolerate even a hint of an opposing view to the theories of evolution.

I'm sure that back in Darwin's time, during the Scopes trial, the shoe was on the other foot, but how quickly the progressives slide into the anti-tolerance chair and start banging the gavel as if their way is the only way, the way, the truth and the light (to borrow some religious phraseology).

Ugh, I swear, my headline title theory seems to be proven again and again.

Oh really? Try using this as a string for a google search and then come tell me what you find! "intelligent design theory or hypothesis". Do not be surprised to find out that you may be wrong.

I put in your search terms and nothing came up.

"intelligent design theory or hypothesis"

However, if I put in "Bush is a liar" I get hundreds of pages of links. Does that "prove" that most people think Bush is a liar? Do you think that even a solid minority of biology professors or researchers think intelligent design is correct?

I created the universe and everything in it.

That is a hypothesis that "fits the facts" since you can't prove I didn't.

Should we require that public schools teach the Daiwonian hypothesis?

Actually I can prove you false here. But I do see your point.

Sorry, I bribed a nerd and got your birth certificate!

Actually, no, I don't see how you can prove he didn't create the universe. There are lots of things that someone can't prove false.

I can say I created the universe 10 seconds ago and gave you all these memories. There's no way to prove that's not the case. But that's the difference between a hypothesis and a theory. A theory has to have facts to support that it is true.
