Intelligent Design: Is it really all about our place in the world?
This article by Robert Lee Hotz of the LA Times pinpoints what he sees as the underlying agenda of the 'intelligent design' promoters: Darwinian evolution unseats humanity as master of a divine creation. With its emphasis on the mechanism of natural selection, it puts people on equal biological footing with barnacles and baboons.
Thanks, Kevin -- In my haste to post, my wording wasn't clear, so I amended the post to be a little more clear.
ReplyDeleteScience can't explain "our place in the world." That would be a philosophical question.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Bev ~ it's one of the reasons that intelligent desing shouldn't be taught as science.
