I never really had an opinion about Penn and Teller until I saw an episode of their show called Bullshit! In this episode they take on creationism or Intelligent Design and it's teachings in public schools. When I first started watching it I wasn't too sure which side of the argument they would be on. Would they be for the teaching of Intelligent Design in schools? Or not? Well thankfully they do not support it and dedicate 26 minutes about the debate behind it.

Ahhh....it's nice.  With the 2006 mid-term elections over, the out-comes have helped put a positive spin on my outlook of the American public.  For awhile there I thought I was in the minority when it came to my views on certain political issues.  Well, with the final out-come and a record number of young voters this election term, it looks like this country is finally moving forward.

Ha!  This is one of the reasons why The Simpsons remains to be one of my favorite shows ever.  In the newest episode aired tonight the Springfield school system was forced to teach an alternative to evolution called creationism or Intelligent Design.  As all us normal people know, creationism is NOT science and has no place in our school system.  Evolution on the other hand has indisputable scientific evidence to back it up and thus is apropriate to teach in a science class.

This time in Pennsylvania, a federal judge ruled against the teaching of Intelligent Design in high school biology classes. The judge said something that should be fairly obvious to everyone: Intelligent Design is creationism in disguise. And we all know that creationism is a religious view. Thus teaching this in school is a violation of the constitutional separation of church and state.

'Intelligent Design' seems to be the new buzz phrase around the country lately. Even though the concept of it has been around for a very long time. Intelligent Design is nothing more than a new name for 'creationism'.
