Intelligent design wackos.
Every weekday the "Sandia Daily News" publishes bits of information about lectures, meetings, classes, news, etc. of relevance to the lab. Yesterday, August, 3, this tidbit showed up that I thought was rather eyebrow raising:
(NM) Intelligent Design presentation: The Christians in the Workplace Networking Group will sponsor a showing of Unlocking the Mystery of Life at the Steve Schiff Auditorium Wednesday, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. The presentation explains the theory of Intelligent Design and challenges the theory of Darwinian evolution. For a video tape of Michael Behe’s earlier visit to Sandia and presentation on the same topic, titled A Response to Criticisms of a Theory of Intelligent Design in Life Chemistry, contact xxxxxxxx. Questions about Wednesday’s presentation to xxxxxx.Yep, these are the people designing our nuclear weapons. And you have to love the name of the group "Christians in the Workplace." Excuse me? I really hope that some other Christian group, made up of normal Christians, asks to set up their own Christian workgroup. Maybe even call it "The Normal Christian Workgroup" or "Sane Christians for a Bigot Free Sandia" or "Noah's Ark Didn't Include Dinosaurs Working Group."
If we wanted priests working at our national labs, we'd hire them. Not to mention, I think it's entirely Christian to oppose bigotry. I certainly hope all the Christians and Jews and Muslims and people of other faiths call this "Christian" group on their anti-religious bigotry every time they try to do something anti-gay. After all, if it's anti-gay and I'm a gay Christian, then it's anti-Christian, by the wacko's logic. What's good enough for the intelligent design goose...
