all the evolutionists should look at this before truly beleiving in evolution as their faith. Yes. evolution has become a religion, not just a thoery.

if you say that evolution is sience, then you are mistaken. evolution is nothing more than a creative theory that cannot be proven. the intelligent desighn theory cannot be disproven. all this argment is over unprovable theory. it all started with the evolution theory. that is all it has been, all it is, and all it ever will be. if people want to teach the evolution theory, they MUST teach creationism in order for kids to truly see what all the argument is about. you cannot expect a person to truly understan science if all sides of the issue are not explored. if you say that the intelligent design theory has no business in schools, than neither does evolution. i challenge anyone to prove that evolution holds water. not with words, but with scientific evidence. I also challenge you to desprove, with scientific evidence, the validity of the intelligent design theory. if you cannot find evidence of this, however, i will tell you to stop teaching evolution in our schools. effective now.

for those of you who say that there is evidence of evolution, provide it. bring it forwad. make a press release of it.

You're asking for chaos. If you allow Intelligent Design in classrooms, then you must allow ALL religious "theories" to be presented. Otherwise there would be lawsuits and arguments from people saying their views were being discriminated against.
And where to you draw the line? Who's views would be taught? Christian? Jewish? Muslim? Buddhism? or how about all the cults and minor religions?
And what about Intelligent Design itself? The Catholic version? Baptist? Lutheran? Mormon?
But I have a feeling this isn't the answer you want. You don't want to have a debate or hear anyone else's side. You just want to rant.

Yes I've heard of it, and you understand little about science if you claim that evolution is a religion. Research on evolution and evolutionary principles is carried out by people of all religious faiths all over the world. It is a scientific theory, providing an explanation (based on evidence) of how species change over time.

As for the design argument, it falls apart because it does not account for the presence of the intelligent designer in the first place. In short, if the "design" needs a designer, then where did the designer come from?

For those who says Intelligent Design is bunk you should try looking into it before you put it down. The science behind it is astounding. If you don't think so answer this question. How did DNA sponteniously generate as evolution said it did? Second evolution is a theory that has not been proven. To believe in something that has not been proven with science requires faith. Therefore Evolution is a religion. Third, Intelligent Design is Creationism and it makes sense. If you went to a car dealership and saw the newst model would you assume that over millions of years and chemical processes that car appeared there after going through many changes. Or would you think that an engineer and a car factory were involved in the car's creation. Same with us. Human cells are more complex than the most complex machines yet people like to believe that they appeared by chance. That's not science but foolishness.

Trust in Jesus the creator of all.

There are seven basic proofs God exists. Properly, they belong in a separate book all by themselves, but I will cover them briefly here.
(1) That there is a great CREATION is obvious. The very fact of the existence of THINGS; the universe, the solar system, the earth and all myriad forms of life upon it, demands a CREATOR!
(2) The existence of great, immutable, powerful LAWS (and I speak of the "laws" governing the physical universe; the laws of science and chemistry; laws governing the action of water in its three states; the cleavage and fracturing properties of minerals; gravity, inertia, isostasy, etc., etc.). The existence of these great laws demands a lawgiver!
(3) The intricacy of complex design; whether the feathers on the wing of a bird; the eye of a fly; the breathing apparatus of a dolphin; billions of intricately-designed snowflakes; your own muscular, skeletal, digestive and circulatory systems-etc., etc., requires a great DESIGNER!
(4) LIFE exists. Life in myriad forms. You and I both know that life only comes from preexisting life! This is called the "law of biogenesis." Life demands a great LIFE GIVER!
(5) Life only comes from preexisting life of the same kind! Thus, there is procreation, and the sustaining of life on our planet; the constant recycling of falling trees, rotting vegetation; the bacteria which break it down to become food for the insects which are food for dozens of other creatures, which are in turn food for larger creatures, which are in turn food for man; the cyclical character of our symbiotic environment which, like a gigantic machine was once "wound up," and is gradually running down, requires a sustaining force. Inherent within this proof are the laws governing the "conservation" of energy" and the laws of thermodynamics. It is obvious our universe has a great sustaining force-a GREAT SUSTAINER!
(6) Fulfilled prophecies, of which there are dozens, with dozens more yet to be fulfilled, constitute a great proof of Almighty God. Even simple high school or beginning college-level Bible handbooks such as Halley's, or the Angus Bible Handbook contain fascinating proofs from the spade of archeologists corroborating the prophecies of men who foretold the collapse of great empires and the emergence of others centuries and centuries beyond their own lifetime. Now, we are able to look back at such men as Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and others, and see what they foretold actually HAPPENED exactly as they foretold it!
Many of the biblical prophecies are in process of being fulfilled. The serious student of biblical archeology knows that it is axiomatic that, wherever archeology reveals information about ancient civilizations, it always corroborates the biblical record, never refutes it!
(7) The final proof-one which dyed-in-the-wool disbelievers will doubtlessly scoff at-is answered prayer! Of course. God does not answer the prayers of skeptics and disbelievers. However, those individuals who have experienced the answer to PRAYER; those who have been healed of their sicknesses and diseases, who have actually seen miracles performed, are no longer doubting, but believing. Answered prayer is definitely a proof that there is a God who can hear. and answer!

The Earth and all creation was designed by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. He is invisible and very big.

IF you can prove otherwise, I'll give you one million dollars.


From the CHURCH of the PASTAFARIANS:

"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.

It is for this reason that I’m writing you today, to formally request that this alternative theory be taught in your schools, along with the other two theories. In fact, I will go so far as to say, if you do not agree to do this, we will be forced to proceed with legal action. I’m sure you see where we are coming from. If the Intelligent Design theory is not based on faith, but instead another scientific theory, as is claimed, then you must also allow our theory to be taught, as it is also based on science, not on faith.

Some find that hard to believe, so it may be helpful to tell you a little more about our beliefs. We have evidence that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. None of us, of course, were around to see it, but we have written accounts of it. We have several lengthy volumes explaining all details of His power. Also, you may be surprised to hear that there are over 10 million of us, and growing. We tend to be very secretive, as many people claim our beliefs are not substantiated by observable evidence. What these people don’t understand is that He built the world to make us think the earth is older than it really is. For example, a scientist may perform a carbon-dating process on an artifact. He finds that approximately 75% of the Carbon-14 has decayed by electron emission to Nitrogen-14, and infers that this artifact is approximately 10,000 years old, as the half-life of Carbon-14 appears to be 5,730 years. But what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage. We have numerous texts that describe in detail how this can be possible and the reasons why He does this. He is of course invisible and can pass through normal matter with ease.

I’m sure you now realize how important it is that your students are taught this alternate theory. It is absolutely imperative that they realize that observable evidence is at the discretion of a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Furthermore, it is disrespectful to teach our beliefs without wearing His chosen outfit, which of course is full pirate regalia. I cannot stress the importance of this enough, and unfortunately cannot describe in detail why this must be done as I fear this letter is already becoming too long. The concise explanation is that He becomes angry if we don’t.

You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.



In conclusion, thank you for taking the time to hear our views and beliefs. I hope I was able to convey the importance of teaching this theory to your students. We will of course be able to train the teachers in this alternate theory. I am eagerly awaiting your response, and hope dearly that no legal action will need to be taken. I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; One third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence.

Sincerely Yours,

Bobby Henderson, concerned citizen"

Evolution is not a religion and everyone's heard of Unintelligent Design. People took creationism, slapped on a scientific name, and tried to slip it into public schools. Fortunately there are still people who know the difference between science and crap.

Is gravity science?

Yes, and it has failed to stand up to critical examination. Witness the Dover trial where a conservative, church-going judge saw the semantics games the creationists were trying to play and called them on it. ID is like a bad date...you can't take it anywhere.

Hell, it doesn't even count as a "theory". It has no evidence, cannot be tested, and makes no predictions. It barely counts as a hypothisis. It should be more accurately be described as "an unsupported assumption based on religious dogma rather than fact."

Yeah, I've heard about it. It's just a new term for creationism - that's it. No evolution is not a religion. You need to buy a science book or at least a dictionary.

Intelligent Design is provably false. All those alleged examples of "irreducible complexity" are not actually irreducible and there are countless examples of incompetent "design." If life on Earth was designed, it could only have been by Unintelligent Design.
