Intelligent Design


I think I agree with the teachings of evolution. I don't think it makes sense for certain cities or schools to decide to teach intelligent design over evolution.

I agree that intelligent design might not be science, nor can it be seen as the ultimate truth over the theory of natural selection. The ideas of intelligent design talk about the existence of God and his influence on the way things work in nature. People can't just deny the information learned from the study of evolution because continuously, scientists are trying to prove things and understand more about nature. On the other hand, intelligent design has a type of understanding where you can't question or further figure more out about it. Instead one is supposed to take the ideas of it and realize it as "fact." But if one is critical enough, he or she would realize that there is a big problem in doing so. Although I do have my own faith, I think it violates the first amendment of free speech in society to force a certain way of thinking on a bigger group of people with different views. To instill these ideas of creation into the everyday teachings in schools around the US is very separatist and unfair. Plus, it just reflects on religious people on how ignorant and afraig they are to accept new ideas that might actually be proven as fact.

THE END!
