Australian Schools To Teach Intelligent Design 714
An anonymous reader writes "It appears that schools within the Australian state of Queensland are going to be required to teach Intelligent Design as part of their Ancient History studies. While it is gratifying to note that it isn't being taught in science classes (since it most certainly isn't a science), one wonders what role a modern controversy can possibly serve within a subject dedicated to a period of history which occurred hundreds of years before Darwin proposed his groundbreaking theory?"

You thought we'd lost our minds with our crazy continental firewalling...but we're not done yet! Begone Darwin and all that reactionary claptrap. Come to Australia where the earth is flat (ignoring Uluru, hell...we've ignored the rights of Aboriginal folks, so we can ignore their rock!)

I think Dawinistic Evolution is the biggest scientific fraud ever perpetrated on mankind, only gaining traction because of mans general inclination to reject any notion of being accountable to a God.
Evolution doesn't even pass the first level of critical thinking. To believe that beneficial mutations have far outnumbered non-beneficial mutations is complete nonsense.
Evolution of DNA (analagous to object code and partial execution machine) is like saying; lets get the a linux distribution and randomaly mutate a byte here and there, and presto theres a new video codec, without acknowledging such a process actually causes faster functional degredation whos rate far outweighs the beneficial creation of functionality.
Evolution is not science, its a pseudo religion by those wishing to reject any notion of a creator.
