I don't usually follow any type of news. But occasionally, very rarely, I happen upon some piece of information by accident. For instance, today I caught an interesting report (I was waiting for Jeopardy and news comes right before that):
Students in the Dover Area School District biology classes were treated today to a lecture on "intelligent design - a concept that holds that the universe is so complex, it had to be created by an unspecified guiding force." In short, public high school children today were given a lecture on creationism. I usually make it a point not to argue about religion, for obvious reasons. So I thought I would just share a bit of my collection of quotes on the subject with those who might be interested:

- Only the fool says in his heart: There is no god -- The wise says it to the world.
- If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane.
