Intelligent Designers

If you've been following the news, school districts in places like Ohio, Delaware and Georgia are now requiring that 'Intelligent Design' be included in public school curricula along with 'Evolutionary Theory'.

Ok. As it turns out there are a lot more intelligent design theories than scientific ones, so which one are you going to teach, or are you going to teach them all? Because the new mandate doesn't stipulate which intelligent design theories you teach, you have plenty to choose from.

Via Preposterous Universe, here is a list of the Top Ten Intelligent Designs:

  • Norse mythology
  • Zorastrianism
  • Babylon's Enuma Elish
  • Egyptian mythology
  • The Aztec Earth Mother
  • China's Cosmic Egg
  • Japan's incestuous siblings
  • Hinduism's Rig Veda
  • Hesiod's Theogony
  • The Judeo-Christian-Islamic Garden of Eden

    I can just see the look on the faces of fundamentalist Christian parents when their children come home spouting Zorastrian theories. If the parents were to complain, there is little they could do about it, since it was probably their church that helped pass the law in the first place. I'm sure this isn't what they had in mind.
