it does make fun of intelligent design. But i think, not trying to argue here, that the point of which I speak next to evolution is that the point of view based upon the God of Abraham shouldn't be taught next to a scientifically based theory. Intelligent design is definitely a philosophical theory. Teaching them both together is a bad idea. I guess I should have specified that. I think teaching I.D. is good in a world religions course or philosophy course. As where Evolution should be in bio or some such course. Making both courses part of a requirement would bring both into view of children, and in a world religions course, bring it to light in a way as to not persuade belief in a specific religion. I was taught I.D. in a world course and it wasn't put in a christian context despite Thomas Aquinas (I think that's his name). So, yeah it does make a good point, it makes a mockery of aligning church and science. I don't think you can compare apples to oranges.
I feel as though I am rambling, I have been thinking too much, playing moola too much. I guess I should have said "good argument against" and then stipulated what I did above. I don't know, my fiancee says I am a bad communicator.
