I am a change in the wind...
Things are a changin, everyone's moving, or thinking of moving, or about to move....hmmm...I wonder what change there is in store for me?
Intelligent Design
I don't usually use this media as an avenue to talk about my opinions on political matters, as I usually do not really have an opinion on political matters, but hey, surprise surprose. Anyway, so today began the first day of a trial in a small town in Pennsylvania that just is going to be a landmark trial for schools everywhere. The "Intelligent Design" concept is being proposed to be taught at this Dover District school as an alternative creation design from the "Evolution Theory." The big thing here is that those who oppose the "Intelligent Design" concept being taught at this particular school are saying that this is an attempt to implement religion in school. Those supporting "Intelligent Design" being taught simply state that it merely offers an alternative to evolution. Then those who oppose ID(i'm getting tired of writing it out all the time) say it discredits scientific process, and those who support it say the evolution theory is just that, a theory, it is not a fact. As far as I am concerned, I think they should teach ID in class. And I don't say this because I am a Christian, but becuase I do believe in offering different POV's. I mean, that's like saying why are we taught that the Civil War was all about slavery back in elementary school? We're force-fed information that isn't entirely full-proof all the time, and the sooner we can be taught that there are other viewpoints on things, the better. As far as the whole separation of Church and State is concerned, I have to admit, I'm rather blah about it...
Funny how God has become such a taboo word nowadays...pretty soon they're gonna change our money to say, "In something that cannot be said because of separation of church and state litigation we trust..." Ridiculous...there are definitely BIGGER fish to fry during these times, and I personally think we could use MORE of God in all our lives.
