Intelligent Design isn’t.

Yoikes. The President says that ‘Intelligent Design’ Should Be Taught. I find it disturbing to hear someone elected to a national political office actually voicing support for ID. Here are some other ‘different schools of thought’ he could also suggest be taught alongside ID:

• Copernicus could have been right! Kepler’s laws are, after all, only a theory!
• Heavier bodies just might fall faster than lighter ones. Gravity is, after all, only a theory!
• Phlogistion-powered vehicles can cure our dependence on foreign oil! Burning by oxidation is, after all, only a theory!
• Pons and Fleischman should be appointed to the vice-president’s energy task force! Our understanding of nuclear reactions is, after all, only a theory!
• Learning the Four bodily Humours would greatly simplify medical training! The germ theory of disease is, after all, only a theory!
