UK Gov boots intelligent design back into 'religious' margins

Tim Post

Its only as bad as you spin it

If you read this piece without intent of your own, you'll see some logic in it. Religion is the practice of filling in the blanks with facts-on-stilts derived from empathy. As we learn more, it (should) change.

We honestly do not know _as_a_matter_of_science_ what to think. Patterns observed are strong indicators, but we don't know.

The schools should differentiate between _right_ and _correct_ , one can change the other is an eventual state. Until its reached, they just care not to teach it altogether. I don't see a major problem with that.

I don't feel that its _right_ given how strongly the evidence suggests one direction, but it might be _correct_ for them to have done this.

To avoid needless resentment, I just won't form an opinion on the matter.
