For the Intelligent design discussion
raven_oreilly hasn't friended me back, so I can't post in her journal. This is what I tried to post there, in case anyone would like to share it with her on my behalf:
tinuvielberen mentioned the FSM argument in your last post. There was a student who was suspended from school because he was advocating his religion of FSM, inisiting that it be taught in school that the FSM created us all. He said that the 'theory' of the FSM is the exact equivalent of the 'theory' of G-d creating everything, and so should be given equal time in the schools. He said, to be fair, that each native American creation theory be taught as well in the science classes as long as the creation theory of the fundamentalist Christians was to be taught, too.
I believe in G-d and believe that He was the force behind the universe and the One who devised the design of the Universe and set it on the path to evolve. I also believe that such ideas belong in the church, synagogue, temple, philosophy class, whatever, and NOT in science classes.
