Well since this was in the news over the last few weeks. Lets not turn this into a religious rant/debate/you-get-the-idea. Basically, express your ideas but no bashing others views. Keep it clean and mature and non-offensive.
Intelligent design does NOT nesscary mean God created things... It could also mean, for want of a better example, Aliens came down and designed us. We should all be aware of the thoery of Evloution. So hopefully I don't have to explain it... If you don't know this try playing pokemon and you'll get the basic idea.
For anyone who doesn't know though these things:
Evloution theories were built up by Charles Darwin many decades ago, at the time it was revolutionary. Charles Darwin lived his whole life fearing being branded as a Heretic after he wrote his famous book on evloution. At the time, being branded as a heretic made you an outcast and criminal. In his book, he never said man was directly related to apes, but at the time, it was obivous what he was saying. At the time, there was another man (whose name slips my mind) who was doing another thoery based on Intelligant design.
The main fear with this debate going on is that there will be a loss of faith in Science. If the argument to teach intelligent design wins, science suffers and many people may choose not to go into the field of science. But if science wins and the thoery is squashed, religious peeps may not like it and it will mean the freedom of speech thing comes into question.
