DESIGN

One could quickly jump to the conclusion that creationists are whackos who want to run the god thing over everyone's head. The interference in school curriculums is upsetting and vexing.

Failing to get their god-o-centric ideas across, the christers are turning to the idea of 'intelligent design' to battle 'darwinism' and 'evolution'.

In this maelstrom, the idea of intelligent design is getting warped by the heat of the arguments. This article in the NYTimes today, at least explains what the idea of 'intelligent design' is: Design for Living.

Some quiet reflection about the definition of this point of view might be helpful before returning to the maelstrom of what should and should not be taught in the schools.
