The major problem with the Yahoo story is that it calls Intelligent
Design a "theory" thus equating it with the Theory of
Evolution. It is merely an idea, belief or guess, but it is not a
scientific theory because it provides no evidence, proposes no
mechanism backed by evidence and no tests of it. As such, the real
tragedy is that it degrades the entire scientific process and its
understanding, thus dumbing down America all the way from the President
to little children in school. That dumbing down of science is
a big worry for America as it competes in the world in science and
technology. The competing countries teach the facts, the
hypotheses, the tests of hypotheses, and the theories that result from
that process, not the guesses and beliefs of a religious viewpoint.
As in the case of Katrina and New Orleans, America needs Intelligent
Planning and Intelligent Action, not Intelligent Design!
