The Top 10 Intelligent Designs (or Creation Myths)
http://www.livescience.com/history/top10_intelligent_designs.html
Scientific research has come a long way since Charles Darwin first posited
the concept of "natural selection", an idea as controversial now as it
was back
in 1859 when it was first published. In the intervening years, humanity has
learned much about how we became the dominant species on the planet, how
the
Earth and the solar system were formed and the ever-changing development
of the
Universe. Over that time, how we understand the theory of evolution has
also
changed.
Scientists now believe that there is an intrinsic logic to our reality,
that
there are absolutes, laws of nature. Much remains a mystery, and as one
question is answered, many others arise. The question that faced
Pennsylvania's
Dover School District was whether or not the imposition of one creation
belief on
a multi-ethnic, secular student body is in keeping with the law that
prohibits
the creation of a state religion. If they allow one belief system to be
taught, surely they must also teach others?

All others - which would eliminate teaching anything else, since it
would take more than 12 years to teach all the religions man has
invented.

Couldn't they just teach the dominating religion
Surely most ministers worship the Mammon,
and so does all of wall-street,
and even the boys in the hood:)

Some of the younger boys (say 13-15) worship something else, although
the girls make them worship from afar.
