The way of things

Science seems to have the answers. They can show, by experimentation that the theories are correct. There is no real proof that intelligent designers can use that proves any part of their theory. What do the Intelligent Design people use for proof of their theories, Faith is the only thing they have shown thus far.
While there may be a spot where the theories break down, and at that point allow for someone or something to have "Designed this on a whim" There is no real provable way of seeing this. It's up to each person's imagination from that point.
We can look back at some great proples imagined reasoning. There are many who have brought us to this point. To name a few: Newton, Einstein, Darwin, et.al..
Could they all be wrong? There always exists that possibility, but many exceptional minds have wrestled with this problem, and no one on either side of the house has been able to show by experimentation that a creator had a hand in getting us to this point.
Yes, the theories break down, such as explaining what happens in a black hole. The theory that you can not destroy information breaks down as we haven't proven what happens to this information in a black hole, i.e. how it is preserved, and used later.
No one has a know all be all theory of everything, but to fear this and create a religion to explain the currently not understood areas of the Universe seems illogical.
Through out history people have done just that. When faced with an unexplained instance in order to be able to face it down they imagine some greater being..

Let's not confuse the issue of science and creationism by putting a course in the public schools that tries to teach faith..

There are faith based schools that do that job, and do it very well leave that to them..

Keep science as science in the classroom...

Today

Today the little people have quite a challenge.
They must compete for space with the rules the administration is making for it's friends, i.e. tax law that shift the burden of running the country erom the people that derive the most benefit to the people who can ill afford to pay more for what they are allowed to scrape off the table.
They must compete with Stockholders whose only concern is higher prices or bigger dividends.
Those who haven't given up on trying to do better get two jobs work many hours over time and miss many of the good times with his/her family, i.e. seeing the kids school play, concert or game.
These are things that don't count in the now current version of capitalism.
The challenge to those on top is to see what they do really affects other peoples lives.
Not by making "Grand Gestures" by giving large sums of money to their favorite charity, which probably benefits them more than the simple tax deduction, but by finding a way to put humanity back into this country. The charitable contributions are needed, but it has become chic to build a trust and give of their largess for political reasons. Few people donate large sums anonymously and fewer for purely unselfish reasons. Most of these large sums are from the efforts of others who do not share in the big prize nor the good that befalls the giver.
There has to be a way of making the USA really a land of promise.
