A Designer Universe? ("Intelligent Design" as Political Quackery)
Posted by Adam Reed on 11/25/2004, 11:42am
Ayn Rand wrote, "Don't bother to examine a folly - ask what it accomplishes." In this article, Nobel Prize winner Steven Weinberg does both. "Intelligent Design" not only has no basis in science, but actually contradicts much of our actual knowledge of reality. It is being promoted for political reasons: if you were created by a God, then God owns you, and you can have no rights that are not trumped by His will. "With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil — that takes religion."
