"Darwin's theory of evolution is the great white elephant of contemporary thought. It is large, almost completely useless, and the object of superstitious awe." Dr. David Berlinski
http://www.dissentfromdarwin.org/"The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection."
http://www.intelligentdesign.org/"Uncommon Descent holds that… Materialistic ideology has subverted the study of biological and cosmological origins so that the actual content of these sciences has become corrupted. The problem, therefore, is not merely that science is being used illegitimately to promote a materialistic worldview, but that this worldview is actively undermining scientific inquiry, leading to incorrect and unsupported conclusions about biological and cosmological origins. At the same time, intelligent design (ID) offers a promising scientific alternative to materialistic theories of biological and cosmological evolution — an alternative that is finding increasing theoretical and empirical support.
http://www.uncommondescent.com/THE above 3 sites dig deep into the reality of what we see, and the philosophy of what we are taught. While the theories expressed in school may not be classified as philosophy, the "evidences" sited to uphold evolution... are the very same that establish creationism or intelligent design. So which side is right?
THE only possible way of determining for one's self, is to follow where the evidence leads. Though from the outset, if we are schooled by the State; is to be biased in the evolutionary mindset. That being said, one has little to loose when considering the evidence... and only a better perspective to gain, if not only to establish further our "original" bent. However, if one finds that all the "thinking" has been done for us already, and all that is required is to give the "rubber-stamp" of consent... "thinking" ...or not, is the least of one's problems... and one should consider integrity.
ARE the Intelligent Design or Creationism views merely causing trouble? What should it matter if CHOICE is available to test one's theories? The truth itself won't change! OR is there a greater game afoot? Has schooling become more indoctrination than that of education? ...and educators more prognosticators; telling us things are evolving to something better when all evidence shouts the opposite? Why are certain books banned from libraries... will there be a honest "coming out" of communism in the West?
WHAT would you have to loose if you found out that the Universe was designed?
WOULD you loose your freedoms to an all-powerful Creator?
YOU are only responsible to the truth.
