OK, I think I get it now. All this talk of Intelligent Design and it has finally sunk in.
There are some gaps in the fossil record, and evolution doesn’t answer every conceivable question regarding how we got here, so that means there must be a designer (implying God) that made it all happen. OK, got it.
What’s brilliant about Intelligent Design is that it solves so many other theories also.
Like the Theory of Gravity.
Yes, gravity is a theory just like evolution. Gravity was described in the General Theory of Relativity by that one guy… the guy with the funny hair. Einstein. (I’m also glad to see his brothers made something of themselves, too.)
A theory describes a scientific principle that can be repeated in testing, yet may still not be completely understood. With the case of gravity, that’s very true.
Gravity is a very powerful force. Heck, it’s got to hold the moon in place. But in the world of the small, like atoms, gravity is very weak. But it doesn’t make sense then that a black hole seems to be very strong, and very small. See, that’s why it’s a theory.
Intelligent Design fixes the problem! And I think that it needs to be put into school text books right away. Teachers should read a statement whenever they talk about gravity telling students that it is “just a theory and not the only solution.”
Here it is: at the center of our planet is an intelligent, supernatural designer pulling everything toward it.
Theory solved.
