Frist the nut job

Frist: Teach intelligent design, too

This is getting ridiculous. Here is the explanation of intelligent design, that Bill Frist wants taught in schools:

The theory of intelligent design says life on earth is too complex to have developed through evolution, implying that a higher power must have had a hand in creation.

First of all, at what point does something become too complex and automatically jump to something else? As in, life on earth is too complex to be explained through the scientific theory of evolution and instead must be explained through the crack pot idea that a higher power must have created the world exactly as it is today.

It's that same black and white mentality Republicans have always had. It seems like solely for political gain to help themselves with the radical right, they promote twisted religious views to be taught in public schools, all in the name of plurality? You have got to be kidding. (It's fine to teach anything you want in a cult, private school, just don't have the state accredit you.)

Or maybe republicans in the public eye are really this screwed up, in which case America is in a lot more trouble. Don't forget that evolution is a scientific theory based on FACTS. It is a theory, yes, because there are pieces missing. I mean come on, it has been millions of years..
The Intelligent design theory, and for that matter, creationism, are religious theories based solely on FAITH. As far as I am concerned, the word "theory" to describe creationism and intelligent design is misleading at best. It leads people to believe that these ideas can be tested through a hypothesis, which they can not.

If Intelligent Design is allowed to be taught in school, then the Flying Spaghetti Monster must also be taught. I actually like this one better.
