An interesting story about the lack of intelligence and Intelligent Design involving the preparation of the new biology lesson plans for Ohio high school students can be found in "Professors debate intelligent design" by Robert Arons, Staff Reporter, The Observer, February 27, 2004 at:
http://www.cwru.edu/orgs/observer/index/Head00.html
If a student was to write his or her term papers as they wrote their biology lesson plan, he or she would get a "F" in the class that the paper was for. This is certainly a case of do as we preach, not as we actually act in real life.
A revealing part of the article is:
(Richard) "Baker accused the scientific community of
wasting time debating the plan. "We spend all this
malarkey and baloney when 99 percent of all the
people who are taught this have nothing to do with
the rest of their lives ... These scientists, they
don't care about wasting their own time or anybody
else's time. In business we don't waste time ... To
me, [the lesson] is not a big deal." According to
Baker, the real reason scientists want to do away
with the lesson plan is, as he said to a group of
scientists at a board meeting concerning the
lesson plan, "[They] think [they] know everything.
[They're] just a bunch of paranoid, egotistical
scientists afraid of people finding out [they] don't
know anything."
It looks like the people of Ohio can no longer laugh at and mock us Texans and our Louisiana neighbors for being ignorant and backwards Yahoos without completely disregarding the saying He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her. :-) :-)
Yours,
Bill
