I find the evolution argument over whether one should teach "natural selection" (branded by its adherents as science) or "intelligent design" (branded by them as religion) to be pathetically funny and narrow-mindedly ironic.
Consider the fact that the way evolution is usually taught in schools today violates the third law of chemical thermodynamics. Is it really science if it violates laws of allied scientific fields, or is it just anti-theistic religion disguised as science? When we teach science in school, we should teach real science.
