What is intelligent design creationism? 'Intelligent design creationism' is the idea that because scientists don't yet fully understand everything about life, then aliens or Gods must have designed life. Although the teaching of intelligent design necessarily results in students becoming measurably dumber, it simultaneously infuses these students with a sense of pride in being ignorant and uncurious. Like all ideas that glamorize stupidity, intelligent design has been immensely popular among the cognitively challenged ever since it was introduced by William Paley in 1802. Amazing fact: Can you guess the 2-word anagram for 'intelligent design'? The answer is at the bottom of the page. Could the jumbled phrase really just be a random consequence of the natural laws of probability?? I think not. It is, I believe, conclusive proof that the alien visitors on Earth who invented 'intelligent design' have a sense of humor. Useful links:
