Please note, this is not an attack on Myrrander, who posted the article that inspired this one: Nothing Intelligent about 'Intelligent Design', but my tolerance for people that have absolutely no tolerance of religion in the classroom is gone.
I posted many articles in the past (linked here for example: Lets start a conversation... Church and State and...) and I've seen others such as Little_Whips currently hot topic thread on the subject as well.
The supposed progressives (using that word, rather than the L- word) among us find plenty to fume over when the topic of "intelligent design" comes up as an affront to their beloved evolutionary theories as if even the mere mention of the possibility that a higher authority may have had a role in our existence is so horrific that it cannot, nay, must not be tolerated and allowed to happen at all.
What is it about the possible existence of a higher authority that so badly rubs the feathers of these progressives the wrong way? Do the really have such an ego as to believe they must be the top of the chain, and nothing could possibly top them? If so, then how will they feel when evolution continues and in just a few generations they are looked at as idiots from the 21st century?
Honestly, I feel sorry for people that are so, hmmm, searching for the right word here, I guess "twisted" will have to do, that they can't tolerate even a hint of an opposing view to the theories of evolution.
I'm sure that back in Darwin's time, during the Scopes trial, the shoe was on the other foot, but how quickly the progressives slide into the anti-tolerance chair and start banging the gavel as if their way is the only way, the way, the truth and the light (to borrow some religious phraseology).
Ugh, I swear, my headline title theory seems to be proven again and again.
