The issue of Creationism is one that is getting more and more irritating. These creationists and intelligent designers (IDers) are popping up like wildflower all over the place and I feel something preventive must be done now. Before the minds of our young (and weak old!) are littered with this ID trash.
I won’t go on debating this issue right now but I’m looking forward to writing something more extensive about Intelligent Design vs. Science sometime in the future.
But before I do, check out these podcasts from Guardian Unlimited’s Science Weekly. The debate is covered very well from both sides and one of the main issues is: should Intelligent Design be taught as science?
