Ok: I’ve just about had it with the Creationism/Intelligent Design coverage in the media. To call this a debate would be to lend unwarrented credentials to what amounts to a smoke screen of political manufacture at the core of our new-found interest in unscientific silliness.
I’m going out on a limb here, and a lot of people will be offended by my saying this: There Is No God. Can anyone scientifically prove of disprove the existance of a human-manufactured concept rooted in the ignorance of thousands of years ago? Why do we cling to such nonsense? We have done so to the continued and unequivical detriment to humanity. The widespread damage to societies throughout history - caused by proponents of theism - far outstrips the benefits the few, humble believers have gained. To think that theism is the only answer available to humanity with which to enhance our spiritual potential is likewise ridiculous, and likewise dangerous.
To believe in a intelligent “creator being” has an effect to absolve humanity of taking command of its own destiny, sidestepping responsibility for accoutibility of its own actions - singly and collectively. Resulting in some of the most murderous societies and regimes in history being strongly associated with theism, and they still are.
To believe in creationism is to subsume an unprovable “fact” of the existance of God. This cannot be sidled up to imperical studies as an alternative. It is insulting to those few humans that have the capacity and courage to look the universe in the eye and question. Our highly technical global culture has evolved by direct result of the work of countless fearless questors. We owe them thanks for the miracles they have brought us, not insults for failing to believe in fairy tale miracles.[/RANT]
