Orson Scott Card Strikes (out) Again
Jan. 22nd, 2006 08:58 pmOrson writes an Op Ed again. This time on Intelligent Design.
Lame. He calls out the fallacies of the Darwinists by listing arguments that those who support evolution do not make. Card is a big fan of making the common man believe that there are elitist smart people out there who want the stupid people (if you're not smart, what are you?) believe that evolution is the correct theory just because we say so. However, supporters of Intelligent Design like to use bad arguments and bad science on the less intelligent person, and that seems more desirable because it can be explained in lay terms. Or something like that.
But, I must note that Card's point #5 does say: "They are very careful not to specify who or what the Intelligent Designer might be. So they are not advocating for any particular religion, or any religion at all. For all anyone knows, the supposed Intelligent Designers might be an alien species of mortal, ungodlike beings."
So, given that, have you accepted the Flying Spaghetti Monster as your personal Pasta and Sav(i)or?
Thanks to
imlac for pissing me off with the Card link.
