In the American Chronicle, Keith Lockitch Writes:

The insistence of “intelligent design” advocates that they are “agnostic regarding the source of design” is a bait-and-switch. They dangle out the groundless possibility of a “designer” who is susceptible of scientific study–in order to hide their real agenda of promoting faith in the supernatural. Their scientifically accessible “designer” is nothing more than a gateway god–metaphysical marijuana intended to draw students away from natural, scientific explanations and get them hooked on the supernatural.

BWAAHAAAHAHAA! A Gateway God? HAH HAAHAA AHHAHA!!

But since the opinion of real scientists — such as the Ph.D fellow at the Ayn Rand Institute, who I quoted above — hasn’t been widely accepted by the dogmatic religious zealots who brought you Intelligent Design, it is encouraging to read that a federal judge (appointed by Bush!) recently handed down a ruling that Intelligent Design is “nothing less than the progeny of creationism” and should not be taught in public schools. This is a victory for Common Sense, which seems to have been the underdog in our country for the past few years.
