so-called "Intelligent Design" is NOT science

In online forums wherever evolution is being debated, some people still claim that intelligent design is a scientific alternative to evolution. I have one word in reply: BULLSHIT!

Okay, I'll say a few more words. The Kitzmiller v. Dover trial in 2005 made it clear beyond any doubt that ID is not science. It was also established beyond any doubt that intelligent design IS religion, although those who advocate it emphatically deny this is the case.

So-called intelligent design is so-called scientific creationism renamed to try to slip past the courts into public school science classrooms, and so-called scientific creationism is nothing more than a literal fundamentalist interpretation of the Book of Genesis of the Christian Bible.

People can believe whatever they want, but a fundamentalist interpretation is not supported by the evidence of the world God created. There have been at least a dozen court cases challenging the teaching of evolution the past forty years, and the creationists lost EVERY TIME. It isn't a conspiracy; it's not the devil. It is simply that the evidence supports evolution and falsifies a literal reading of Genesis.

Some people who used to believe the earth is flat (maybe some still do) would use a fundamentalist interpretation of Bible verses to "prove" it. Churches and people who are in denial of the fact of evolution are modern-day flat-earthers.

Like I said, believe what you want, but don't try to legislate ignorance in the teaching of American children in public schools. Home school your kids or send them to a private school that doesn't conflict with your beliefs if you want them to think the earth is flat.
