I Approve Intelligent Design

(4)

Continuing on the subject of Science vs Religion I was happy to see that the Kansas School Board has tentatively approved the concept that 'Intelligent Design' can be taught in science classes. I think it is a good idea. You are no doubt shocked. Here is my reasoning:

The juxtaposition of Science and Religion would inevitably stimulate in those classes a discussion of Philosophy. I love Philosophy. Philosophy goes quite well with both Science and Religion, and indeed Philosophy is the only possible intermediary between them. Such discussions will be of great benefit to the students, who - I predict - will absolutely love it all! I furthermore predict that those students will leave school with a much more sophisticated understanding of the real world than they otherwise might have had.
