unintelligently designed theories and their debunkers.
For all you concerned intellectual types, here is a damn good article I chanced upon in the newest Esquire magazine, entitled "Greetings from Idiot America," by Charles P. Pierce (here is an interesting article where some other old guy got pissed off at Pierce for something he said about Michael Jordan. funny). It's all about that Intelligent Design horseshit (check Wikipedia, as always) and how the entire mentality behind it is despicable. Yay!
Here's some more commentary from Daily Kos.
Actually, a lot of people are talking about that article. Neat.
Also there is another damn good article in the same issue of Esquire, after that first one, named "The Case for Intelligent Design." It raises some very interesting problems with the logical issues that arise within christianity, if one accepts Intelligent Design.
Now, unfortunately you can't read the full articles from Esquire online, so I suggest you hop over to the nearest library, Borders, Barnes & Noble, or whatever and find the November issue of Esquire and read the articles. They are on pages 180 and 186, respectively. And don't get distracted by the fluff article about how Jessica Biel is the "sexiest woman alive" or whatever. Tripe!
And for more goodness on the same topic, be sure to check thelemurgod's webcomic, Disassemblance, and it's three-part arc on intelligent design. Brian rocks! Go Brian! <3
