- There's a story a few months ago in Newsweek on this Discovery Institute and the Intelligent Design theory (a new version of Creationism in essence) they are pushing to the public.
So, let's say all is pre-designed and pre-determined, and all we are left to do is to find out this intelligent designer's plan for us, to find out our pre-determinded fate, boy, does that make you feel below-human? One would feel like a pre-designed robot, wouldn't he? Will he be disassembled later or will he be thrown into fire to produce a new piece of iron?
Like I said before, accepting an above-all God/intelligent designer is simply a dead end to any human intellectual endeavors. How boring. How depressing.
Why not leave science alone doing what it's been doing in discovering laws in the physical world, and leave religion to the metaphysical adventures in people's mind? Telling scientists what they ought to find is indeed an insult to their intellect.
