I.D. the Coward's Path.

I am really getting sick of the yellow bellied hiding that the religious right is doing. I can't figure out why they don't stand up and say what they really think. There is a verse in their Bible that says: "be hot or cold, but if you are luke-warm I will spit you out." Intelligent Design is the epitome of wishy-washy luke-warm religion. They believe in a god that created everything so why hide behind a ridiculous pseudo-theory? This is the essentialized "theory" of Intelligent Design:

-The world is really complicated
-We can't understand the world without thinking too hard
-Because the world is complicated (and we can't take the time to figure it out) it must have been created with a poof and a wave of the hand by something else that we don't understand

Fact: Evolution is a fact! You don't have to go any further than your grocery store to see it; look at the varieties of tomatoes. You say it doesn't apply to animals? Look at selective breeding for dogs and cats. That is evolution! How about this fact: the Netherlands, less than 100 years ago, had a population of notoriously short men. Today men in the Netherlands have the highest average height of any nation in the world. Did every tall person migrate to the Netherlands in order to offset the substandard height ratio? No, it was a type of selective breeding. People recognize cultural "beauty traits." Those people with the cultural assigned traits of beauty are more desirable and get laid more frequently than the rest of us (nothing else can explain Anna Nichole, Pamela Anderson or Paris Hilton as far as I am concerned). The seed is spread. Evolution in the works (good thing the aforementioned are all too plastic to breed).

This BS of intelligent design?. . . just admit you are a creationists. Sure it sounds less "scientific" but you obviously have a problem with science anyway so why try to adopt the lingo to make it seem like you are thinking individuals? Saying you believe in intelligent design is the coward's way of saying you believe that a god created everything but that you are afraid to say the G word publicly. Science is just a toy for the fundamentalist. They don't really like it but they'll play with it until they get that really cool Moses action figure for Christmas.
