Op-Ed: To teach science, try focusing on Intelligent Design |
From the article:
---------------------------------
This is the problem: Our children are being taught that evolution is a fact. There
simply is not enough evidence to even make it a theory. At best it is a hypothesis.
This is fine, but this is not how it is presented. Anyone remember the TV show
Cosmos? Carl Sagan said that evolution is a fact. By saying this, he was telling us
about his faith and belief, but not science.
Intelligent design is science. Let's take it out and away from Genesis and leave it
there so that we can explore scientifically a body of evidence. Even many scientists
have decided that life here on Earth was seeded by an alien race, as the data just
does not support Darwinian evolution. Not one link to bridge any species-to-species
jump has turned up.
Intelligent design is based on information theory. Information theory states that the
least bit of randomness introduced to an information system creates chaos and
destroys that system. It will never lead to positive change.

Note the sponsored links for Answers In Creation and Science Finds the
Creator. They're publishing an editorial full of unchallenged lies and
propaganda, appealing to the base interests of superstitious readers, but
presented as erudite and considered opinion, solely to sell advertising to
the kind of people who would benefit from the publication of such an
article.
We've seen infotainment, infoganda, and now ... editogantainplacement?

I'm glad it's a science! Really overjoyed! So that means someone is going
to state some hypothesises and test them at some point, right? (holding
breath).

Obviously never heard of stochastic amplication, where adding noise
actually improves signal transmission.
