On Evolution

Look...I'm not saying that super-intelligent, highly advanced and powerful aliens -- per se -- created us and the universe in which we live, I'm just saying that the evidence leads one to conclude that our world is too complex to have come about without someone having planned it out and done it on purpose.

Sound ridiculous? Of course. Any more ridiculous than an invisible man in the sky creating us and the universe in which we live? Not by a long shot.

Thoughts on evolutionary biology from a deep thinker on the KS school board

"It is our goal to write the standards in such a way that clearly gives educators the right AND responsibility to present the criticism of Darwinism alongside the age-old fairy tale of evolution," Morris wrote.

It amazes me that she thinks the fairy tale of creationism -- pardon me, the fairy tale of "Intelligent Design" -- presents any kind of valid criticism of evolution other than, "we have pudding for brains and, therefore, can't understand evolution so we've made up an invisible man in the sky who created everything". There. No holes in that theory.

Morris wrote. "But the quandary exists when poor science - with anti-God contempt and arrogance - must insist that it has all the answers."

As opposed to poor mythology - with anti-science contempt and arrogance - which insists that it has all the answers, regardless of how ridiculous and juvenile those answers might be.
