To this day I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND how this whole ‘intelligent design’ thing got started. I mean I’ve seen it suck in people who were once smart and intelligent. Why do people think that belief in God and Science can NOT go hand in hand? WHY?

And why are those people converting others to this malarky?

You have no idea how often I have wanted to smack certain people I know silly. I mean it’s okay to have this quirky little belief and trott it out in bars after a few drinks when you’re open to saying silly and stupid things, but take it seriously? I mean really, if you’re going to believe in this stuff then I honestly think you are insulting God! You’re taking the most beautiful thing possible: The totality of creation, all of the rules, the laws, the stuff that is so breathtaking in it’s beauty and sheer awesomeness, and replacing it with Magic?

I think when these people die they’re going to have some explaining to do! “What Lord? You mean it wasn’t just ‘poof’ and everything was there? You mean you really did spend eons and eons making the most complicated and wonderous things happen? Oh…. sorry…”
