Attempts to introduce Intelligent Design in Europe spark backlash

jmke · 26th June 2007, 23:17

When societal resistance to the science behind evolution comes up for discussion, it's often an occasion for European readers to ask (with varying degrees of politeness) whether the US has lost its collective marbles. Any sense of superiority they derive from viewing the rejection of science as an American phenomenon, however, should have evaporated in recent years as creationist efforts have popped up throughout Europe, including within several governments. The situation has now reached the point where European governments have felt compelled to address the issue.

"Intelligent Design" what a totally incorrect name for a collection of unreal ideas.

Well said.

For me, study well in Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. If all fails to "create" your wealth as much as Bill Gates, Donald Trump and the likes, go try "Evaluation", blame you ancestors. Then, you will have to study history. Still don't see success in life, blame "God".

Oh, forgot to mention Paris Hilton found God while in prison. It tells you something, doesn't it?

Send them all to jail
