UNICEF ad drops bomb on Smurfs

UNICEF's first adult-only episode of "The Smurfs," in which the blue-skinned cartoon characters' village is annihilated by warplanes, has terrified young children. The short but chilling film is to be broadcast on national television this week as a campaign advertisement for a fundraising drive by the U.N. children's agency.

Remember the lesson kiddies: get Mom and Dad to pay the UN or this could be YOU!

Why Intelligent Design Is Going to Win

It doesn't matter if you like it or not. It doesn't matter if you think it's true or not. Intelligent Design theory is destined to supplant Darwinism as the primary scientific explanation for the origin of human life. ID will be taught in public schools as a matter of course. It will happen in our lifetime. It's happening right now, actually.

First, the Chief will stipulate, that based on observation of the doings of the denizens of Washington, D.C. the prospect for intelligent design certainly seems doubtful. However...in other terms there is merit in the proposition.

This posting presents a proposition, and supporting discussion that the concept of intelligent design (ID) will ultimately gain ascendency, for a number of clearly stated reasons:

1) ID will win because it's a religion-friendly, conservative-friendly, red-state kind of theory, and no one will lose money betting on the success of red-state theories in the next fifty to one hundred years.

2) ID will win because the pro-Darwin crowd is acting like a bunch of losers.

3) ID will win because it can be reconciled with any advance that takes place in biology, whereas Darwinism cannot yield even an inch of ground to ID.

4) ID will win because it can piggyback on the growth of information theory, which will attract the best minds in the world over the next fifty years.

5) ID will win because ID assumes that man will find design in life -- and, as the mind of man is hard-wired to detect design, man will likely find what he seeks.

Check out the whole article for the supporting discussion. The Chief particularly likes what's said in reference to the first of the above points:

I've said it before and I'll say it again: families that reproduce people tend to reproduce ideas, as well. The most vocal non-scientist proponents of ID are those delightfully fertile Catholics, Evangelicals, and similarly right-leaning middle-class college-educated folk -- the kind whose children will inherit the country. Eventually, the social right will have the sheer manpower to teach ID wherever they please.

Back in undergrad days, the Chief encountered more-or-less female students of the feminazi persuasion who proclaimed their intention to NEVER have children. As a student of biology, I stated the biological significance of that option: "Oh, you have decided then that you are biologically unfit! Biological fitness is defined as success in passing genes on to the succeeding generation." The reaction to this...as the saying goes...priceless!
