Intelligent Design is Not Science
I have been arguing back and forth with several Christians and Creationists about the so called "Theory of Intelligent Design". For those of you not familiar with it. Intelligent Design is the theory that the complexity of life and the universe can only be explained by a designer. This designer is supposed to be an entity that can manipulate reality in such a way as to create living beings in all their complexity. I hope I have given a fair summary definition as I am not attempting to create a Strawman.

This is really dangerous. The problem with this sort of legislation is that it will allow religious zealots to attempt to inject their religion in to the schools under the guise of critiquing a scientific theory. I have said this before, but these people are not trying to make sure that their own kids are taught about creation, they are trying to make sure that your kids are taught about creation. They will tell you that they are concerned about their own kid's education but that is a bold faced lie.

Assumptions
This is a response to some of the comments I received on my video, "I was a Creationist"
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIhf92ki4Us)
In it I discuss the assumptions that I make that support my acceptance of Science and its consensus Theories such as that of Evolution by Natural Selection.
