Intelligent Design Taught at Kansas University....As Mythology!

HA! one more score for Scientology.

ive read the intelligent design book by rael who claims he was visited by aliens

On the 13th of December 1973, French journalist Rael was contacted by a visitor from another planet, and asked to establish an Embassy to welcome these people back to Earth.

The extra-terrestrial human being was a little over four feet tall, had long dark hair, almond shaped eyes, olive skin, and exuded harmony and humor. Rael recently described him by saying quite simply, "If he were to walk down a street in Japan, he would not even be noticed." In other words, they look like us, and we look like them. In fact, we were created "in their image" as explained in the Bible.

He told Rael that:

"We were the ones who designed all life on earth"
"You mistook us for gods"
"We were at the origin of your main religions"
"Now that you are mature enough to understand this,we would like to enter official contact through an embassy"

Last time I checked, the Qu'ran wasn't taught as a science. Also, it doesn't qualify as mythology because I, as I understand it, it is a collection of laws or commandments, much like some books of the bible. Myths are by definition stories: narratives. Despite the negative connotations the word seems to have, however, mythology is not defined as something that is necessarily false: it's an appropriate term, even if Genesis is a literally true account of the creation of Earth. No matter how you spin it, though, creationism and intelligent design are based on religious stories (or mythology) as told in Genesis above real science. While scientific language might be used to defend them, they're religious theories, not scientific theories. Hence they belong in a class about religion, not a class about science.

They don't teach the "Great Man Theory" as a valid method of historical analysis in history classes because the experts have at length concluded that it's intrinsically flawed. The same is true of creationism and intelligent design in this case. If scientists at the university do begin taking them seriously, they will be taught as science. Until then, they're classified as religious mythology, the same as any other religious narrative.

Like I said, it's an ******* jab.

What about tolerance people? Shouldn't everyone be tolerant of other peoples opinions and views?
