it's a sad state of affairs when cartoons become our voice of reason. can christians really watch this and not see the obvious problem with teaching creationism in public schools?

questioner, the problem with intelligent design is there is no end to it unless you take the christian standpoint. who designed the designer? the people who want intelligent design won't answer this without saying the designer has always been present. which brings us back to christianity...

Your point of view and arguments are coming from the Simpsons? Do you think that's how it really is?

First of all, so many people are confusing biblical creationism with intelligent design. "Intelligent Design is the study of patterns in nature that are best explained as the result of intelligence" (Dr. William Dembski). That's it; it says nothing of who the creator is and how he/she/it/they did it. Intelligent Design encompasses every "creation" story.

And second, I have found that most Christians I know don't want biblical creationism taught in science classes anyway. What we want is for molecules-to-man evolution to be taught with all its warts (they are not even allowed to present evidence that would put evolution in a poor light).

And we want intelligent design to at least to be presented (that is science). Reliable methods for detecting design exist and are employed in forensics, archeology, and data fraud analysis. These methods can easily be employed to detect design in biological systems.

When being interviewed by Tavis Smiley, Dr. Stephen Meyer said, “There are developments in some technical fields, complexity and information sciences, that actually enable us to distinguish the results of intelligence as a cause from natural processes. When we run those modes of analysis on the information in DNA, they kick out the answer, ‘Yeah, this was intelligently designed’ . . . There is actually a science of design detection and when you analyze life through the filters of that science, it shows that life was intelligently designed.”

I'm sorry, but I have to agree with George Bush: "Both sides ought to be properly taught . . . so people can understand what the debate is about . . . Part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought . . . You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes.”

Good science teaching should include controversies!

The day we can learn anything real from the Simpsons is a sad day indeed. Although I suspect the kids in the Simpsons have always had the best lines; I never watched an actual Simpsons cartoon before, but I heard a lot about them. Mostly I heard they were vulgar, and that they certainly are.

Yes, it's a sad day when cartoons like the Simpsons become the best we can do to present rational thought.
