I've found all of our discussion on Evolution very interesting and I can't wait to move further into the subject. I'm currently taking Anthropology 101 and we're currently tackling the subject of Evolution, specifically that of hominoid apes and humans. We also got to write a paper (lucky us!) on Intelligent Design and Evolution.

I found the comparison of Intelligent Design and Evolution... interesting. It made me wonder what people were thinking when they decided that Intelligent Design was a "science" and should be taught in schools.

Whereas Evolution has mountains of evidence to back it up (literally, mountains), Intelligent Design has, well, nothing.

It is my understanding that mainstream scientists avoid debating over Intelligent Design because they think it might give the scientific "theory" some credibility...

I think people are entitled to believe what ever they so choose. That is what makes life so interesting; that is what allows for change and growth and development. But does that cross the line when state legislators are pushing for the teaching of Intelligent Design in schools?
