Intelligent Design, yes, another religion related topic Options

PA school board says it's okay to teach Creationism, or "intelligent design".

Funny thing is people, that they say "it's not fair to teach kids one thing, but not another" and that they wanted a "balanced representation".

Now then, I ask you where is balance in teaching Creationsim, without teaching what Buddha teaches, what Mohammed teaches, what Hindu gods teach?

Don't get me wrong, I do believe in Creationism to a certain extent so I would not mind taking the course. I only wanted to point out how silly these people are for coming up with such a problematic arguement.

To those that believe in evolution. If I remember correctly, evolution is an ongoing process that supposedly doesn't stop. Why then, I ask, we have not seem some... monkey-human hybrid (now, or some time before), or a half bird-half lizard thing?

We have gone a long way from then. Evolution mosted likely happens because there is a need to evolve to make a certain species more adept to hunt, breathe, to survive, or whatever the case may be. As for monkey-human stuff, why would we want to climb trees? Or what can lizards benefit from growing wings?

There is an ongoing evolution of baterial genomes and also the evolution of influenza... etc.

There are, in theory, many evidences for evolution and calling it a theory doesn't make a guess or something thought out of the blue. There is the theory of gravity, but I don't think too many people doubt that. Why would the theory of evolution be any less qualified?

Eh, I don't know (I struggled to make an A in science classes). As for offering "Intelligent Design" as an optional course, can't we also offer "Reincarnation and Karma..." as an optional study as well?
