WHAT ABOUT "UNINTELLIGENT DESIGN?"
9/7/2005
"Intelligent design" is the latest buzzword of the right-wing,
Bible-Thumping cultists who keep pushing to "Christianize" our public
schools.
But I ask you:
How intelligent is the design of our world, really?
The ID crowd flatly rejects the science of evolution as apostasy,
asserting that life on this earth is way too wondrous to have simply
evolved.
They point to Genesis as proof that a mighty God schemed it all out
and -- poof! -- miraculously created our world whole in only six days.
Thus, they insist that intelligent design be taught in our schools and
be given equal weight with evolution.
Well, why teach only two beliefs?
I submit that our world is pretty chaotic, often reflecting neither
intelligence nor progressive evolution.
"Unintelligent Design," is my theory.
For example, here in Texas, we can get six inches of rain in an hour,
then go six weeks without a drop.
First we're drowned, then we're parched.
Who planned this?
Or, take tornados -- does God hate trailer park people?
Why not hit some of those rich, gated compounds every once in a while?
Also, I'd like to talk to whoever designed our bodies.
For example, men have nipples -- what's up with that?
Even bigger, why do we get sick before we die?
I can understand the necessity of death (otherwise they'd be no room
for others), but well-designed people should be healthy and happy,
until -- Bingo -- we check out.
This would eliminate the misery of dying and save trillions of
health-care dollars now being wasted on folks in their last months of
life.
There are so many other flaws in our world that defy anything logical
or miraculous about creation.
Why are there ticks and mosquitos?
Dogs are good but why must they drool and have bad breath?
Why haven't we evolved beyond the madness of war?
And here's a big one:
Why would an intelligent designer produce Tom DeLay?
This is Jim Hightower saying... It's clearly time to teach the theory
of unintelligent design.
