[Vision2020] Some of you may enjoy this

I'm glad some of you are interested in this subject. The U of I  
Library has the book "A Dictionary of Creation Myths." Its call  
number is: BL 325.C7 L44 1995. It is not checked out.

Thought provoking, indeed! Intelligent Design is nothing but warmed- 
over Creationism. It is not science, but religion, as you will soon  
see if you look up <sciphre.org>. It is sponsored by Eternal  
Communications Ministries, which seems to be connected with the local  
Nazarene Church.

Scott Minnich is well known in creationist circles. He has yet to win  
the Nobel Prize for disproving the Theory of Evolution, one of the  
strongest theories in the whole of science. If he wishes to believe  
that the universe was designed by a god or a goddess or a committee  
of super-smart supernatural creators, he is welcome to do so. But  
this is NOT science.

I wonder if he has read A Dictionary of Creation Myths, by David and  
Margaret Leeming (Oxford University Press, cl994). It contains 330  
pages of information on Intelligent Designers and Supernatural  
Creators. Take your pick.

I predict that the forthcoming lecture at the U of I Law School  
Auditorium will draw a capacity crowd. Not of scientists, but of true- 
believing, wishful thinkers of the Christian fundamentalist type.
