Unintelligent Design at NASA - Mike Godwin
Gee, let's rewrite science in accordance with what our invisible friends tell us. What's next? No, don't tell me. It might come true. *sigh*
Distressing to read in the New York Times that political appointees are trying to dictate how NASA reports science. I note that one White-House-appointed flack apparently wants “intelligent design” to be considered as an alternative to Big Bang cosmology. This is new and weird, since “intelligent design” has up until now been offered as an alternative to the theory of evolution.
There are of course no observational data at all to support the idea that the universe was intelligently designed. (It may well have been, but nothing in what we can observe cosmologically suggests this is so.)
