More on Intelligent Design
I updated my previous post on the subject with a link to edge.org, which does not require registration like NYTimes.com.
While over at edge.org, I found another interesting article, this one by Scott Atran, that argues against the teaching of Intelligent Design in schools. An excerpt:
Science is not particularly well-suited to deal with problems of human existence that have no enduring logical and or factual solution, such as avoiding death, preventing deception, anticipating catastrophes, overcoming loneliness, finding love or ensuring justice. Science cannot tell us what we ought to do or what should be, only what we can do and what is. Religion endures and thrives because it addresses people's deepest emotional yearnings and society's foundational moral needs.
