That’s great, pri_dk. Where’s that quote from?

Is it from ‘South Park’? Wait… WWBBD?

Urban – open photoshop, replace Indy with the skater guy and you’ll jump the shark — er, nuke the fridge.

[quote=ocrenter]Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

sounds like separation of church and state is pretty clear cut here.[/quote]

It’s not there at all. It simply says that the government has no business meddling with religion period.

it’s really easy to think you understand a rule of law until you try to apply it to a particular set of facts. go to law school and check it out. Everyone thinks the’re a constitutional scholar because they can read english. the truth is, you may think you’re pretty damn smart and it’s all real simple, and it’s much more complex and you’re not as smart as you think.

me included.

tell ya what. go try the first year of law school, and let me know how it goes…

gandalf, based on your last post I am reasonably sure you have no idea what intelligent design is. Intelligent design has nothing to do with either of the two (factually contradictory) Genesis stories. The basic theory of intelligent design is that, natural selection is insufficient to explain the evolution of creation. There are various good reasons for why natural selection is insufficient such as irreducible complexity of certain systems (disputed by numerous scientist) or just the statistical improbability of only natural selection resulting in our evolution.

I am not a big proponent of intelligent design as science. I personally do not care. But, I do think that natural selection alone takes a good bit of faith.

But I repeat, Intelligent design has nothing to do with Christianity/Judaism or Genesis.
