"My name is Sue; How do you do? NOW YOU'RE GONNA DIE!"
The tribes of the Blackfoot confederacy, living along what is now known as the United States/Canadian border, fleeing northward after a raiding attack, watched with growing amazement as the soldiers of the United States army came to a sudden, magical stop. Fleeing southwards, they saw the same thing happen, as the Canadian mounties reined to an abrupt halt. They came to call this invisible demarcation the "medicine line."It is like the child's game where we traced a line down the cloth of the back seat in the car and warned our sisters and brothers against trespass. Here, where I am now living, and where people have lived almost as long as there have been people on earth, if you were to track all the imaginary lines on a single map and how they have changed, it would look like an angry child's scribble. How can we all feel so strongly which is here and which is there? Where we end and they begin? And yet, like everyone on earth, each person has fixed in their mind one definite point in time when the imaginary lines were correct, and fair, and inevitably, as long and wide as they ever had been. Any contraction is a wound.Sharon O'Brien
Let's be clear. Intelligent design may be interesting as theology, but as science it is a fraud. It is a self-enclosed, tautological "theory" whose only holding is that when there are gaps in some area of scientific knowledge -- in this case, evolution -- they are to be filled by God. It is a "theory" that admits that evolution and natural selection explain such things as the development of drug resistance in bacteria and other such evolutionary changes within species but also says that every once in a while God steps into this world of constant and accumulating change and says, "I think I'll make me a lemur today."
