There's a very important feature to note about the latest of Pat Robertson's outbursts -- he has publicly defined a very clear link between creationism and intelligent design. Proponents of intelligent design have been at great pains to obscure such relationships, claiming merely that the complexity of the universe reflects the existence of some sort of advanced and powerful intelligent entity. Unfortunately, to people who are not well-schooled in scientific methods, such arguments can be quite appealing. But now, thanks to Pat Robertson, the creationism connection is much clearer. Anyone of a scientific mindset should be grateful to him, since it will be much easier for other communities to follw the lead of Dover PA and bring some sense to school curriculums. -John Murray On 11/11/05, David Farber <dave () farber net> wrote:

If you wish. I think this sort of thing is in incredibly poor taste following the disasters that hit us this summer. Regards, Guilherme Roschke. http://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/11/10/religion.robertson.reut/ Robertson warns Pennsylvania voters of God's wrath Eight 'intelligent design' school board members lost electionWASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertsontold citizens of a Pennsylvania town that they had rejected God by voting their school board out of office for supporting "intelligentdesign" and warned them Thursday not to be surprised if disaster struck.Robertson, a former Republican presidential candidate and founder of the influential Christian Broadcasting Network and Christian Coalition, hasmade similar apocalyptic warnings and provocative statements before. Last summer, he hit the headlines by calling for the assassination of leftist Venezuelan Present Hugo Chavez, one of President George W. Bush's most vocal international critics. "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disasterin your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city,"Robertson said on his daily television show broadcast from Virginia, "The 700 Club.""And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you justvoted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for His help because he might not be there," he said. <SNIP> ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as galler () umich edu To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ipArchives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting- people/
