Intelligent Design
Thursday, November 10, 2005 @ 9:05pm

This week's school board election in Dover, Pennsylvania saw all its "intelligent design" proponents voted off the board, and its opponents voted on.

This is a real shame, but I have to say that those bemoaning this loss are missing the bigger picture. Having public school curricula include a discussion about creationism next to evolution, frankly, isn't nearly enough.

What is really needed is an overhaul of all the topics taught in our schools today, and not just biology. Evolution is just a theory, you know. It's about time that physics started emphasizing that gravity is also just a theory; there are alternative explanations for why up is up and down is down. (Heaven is up, hell is down, duh.) As a Christian, I'm upset that chemistry studies leave little to no room for the changing of water to wine. If I were Catholic I'd fully expect that chemistry classes discuss transubstantiation, at least a little. And nobody can deny that health education is woefully incomplete without one measly chapter on prayer healing. Are we one nation under God or WHAT?

Don't even get me started on phys ed.
