In America, the debate continues about the teaching of Inteligent Design in schools. Pat Robertson, a notorious Jesus Freak who if he spoke about a belief
not a lot of people know about in the same way he does Christianity would have ben locked away because of the extent to his mental help, says that Philadelphians
should turn to Charles Darwyn instead of God if a natural disaster hits their state. Two responses to that, Firstly, If God is in charge of Nature it seems
that he always strikes areas full of Jesus Freaks when he goes near America. Secondly, if they turn to God or Charles Darwyn, neither will stop what's
happening in this natural disaster, I'm sure people in the areas affected by Catrina have learned that by now, or are they too brainwashed? Anyway, the
teaching of Inteligentt Design in Science is like teaching religion in Science. So this should naturally mean that Science is taught in religion right?
In fact if they wish to bring religion to science classes at schools, then science should be brought into religious classes at Sunday schools or Sabeth
schools in Churches. Can't ignore the seventh-day adventists, none of them are all that sain either and I do know. Back to the point though, that also
means Maths is taught in English, Geography is taught in P.E, English is taught in art, art is taught in Information and Communications technology, and
cooking is taught in Maths. Well no supporter of Inteligent Design can complain, because these examples are just like what they're already doing, in fact
they're an extention of the idea behind bringing Inteligent Design into schools so surely those Jesus Freak supporters of Inteligent Design are all queuing
up to congratulate me on furthering their cause beyond the levels they expected it to reach. Oh and if it's all about just mixing ideologies and I didn't
realise that I appologise, but so I can't be found guilty of overlooking that, since all ideologies are been mixed up, i.e religion replacing creationism
in classes, all these preachers who jump around screaming and shouting and doing all that crazy stuff should start preaching Atheism, the people who preach
at mosques should start preaching Judaism, the jewish preachers should start preaching fascism, the hindu preachers should start preaching Islam, etc.
And noone who supports the teaching of Inteligent design in schools can complain because this is simply another extention of their idea about mixing up
all the ideologies like ingredients in a baking bowl.

Isn't intelligent design just another term for creationism? Robertson is just a clown who knows how to press people's buttons, else he's just got something majorly wrong in his head if he really believes his deity shares his own petty prejudices and hatreds.

There is little difference between creationism and intelligent design.
