Intelligent Design (and Pat Robertson)

....from Nov. 10...more draft-cleanup....

He put his foot in his mouth again. Pat Robertson went too far in warning the citizens of Dover, PA that God "might not be there" if they ask for His help in a disaster, simply because a majority of citizens voted their school board out of office for allowing Intelligent Design concepts in public school.

This is all that the school board actually did, by the way: The board ordered schools to read students a short statement in biology classes informing them that the theory of evolution is not established fact and that gaps exist in it.
The statement mentioned intelligent design as an alternate theory and recommended students read a book that explained the theory further. That's it. That's all.
A statement, and a book recommendation.

Followed by teaching evolution.

I mean, it's not as if they were handing out condoms and running an in-school health clinic to help pregnant teens get abortions without their folks finding out. Now that would be out of bounds...
