Intelligent None

I keep hearing from some people thinking they are taking a fair stance say that intelligent design should be allowed into the scientific debate so they should teach it in schools. First off, real hardcore scientific debate is done by real scientests not some high schoolers just learning the ins and outs. Secondly, intelligent design is in the scientific debate and it has consistently failed to pass muster. Not to mention the fact that intelligent design uses evolution as its foundation. ID basically takes evolution and its "holes" and fills it in with mystical nonsense that hasn't been proven or show any signs that it will be proven. I don't get why some people still treat evolution as a static body of knowledge. Evolutionary theory has changed since the early days of Charles Darwin and these so called holes continue to be filled in with reliable evidence. The holes are chances to explore. ID has nothing to explore because everything is filled in. I especially am baffled by how evolution is attacked for being closed off and not open to discussion. That really boils my blood. You want to introduce an idea that is intrisically restrictful and purports to have all the answers and you call people who subscribe to evolution closed-minded. ID is the epitome of closed-minded loserball. ID has to show me something and they haven't. It has said a few things but I see nothing to back it up.

You know what else I find amusing. The story of Doubting Thomas. The story goes that he was one of Jesus's followers who didn't believe that Jesus had been resurected even after another apostle told him that he had seen him alive. He declared that he would not believe Jesus was alive until he saw him for himself and touched his wounds for himself. Then Jesus shows up and Thomas becomes a beleiver. For some fucked up gansta-bitch reason this story is supposed to teach you not to doubt and always have faith. What in the hell! Don't be a doubting thomas they say. Holy shit dude! How does that story does not teach you to always question and wait to see real proof is beyond me.

Finally I come down to what has ID actually advanced or done for humankind. Absolutely nothing. Go ahead teach your population that ID is the way to go, i'll stick with the "holes" in evolution and watch your people suffer and die under the ravages of diseases which you'll probably refer to as god's will. You don't accept natural selection and it will wipe you the fuck out, maybe.
