Have You Been Touched By His Noodly Appendage?

Today's New York Times has a (very) lengthy article that goes into some detail about the concept of Intelligent Design. It is not as base as "we people are so complex we must have been made by some creator," but it's still several zip codes away from science. Science is comfortable with - hell, requires - the idea that we don't know it all and need continued research to get closer to an answer. Just throwing your hands up and defaulting to God isn't science.

But, if we are going to go as far as teaching ID in schools, I want the theory that the designer was a Flying Spaghetti Monster taught right along side. And I want a T-shirt, too. :)
