Crossed Up

Clever bastards, those lawyers:

Astrology would be considered a scientific theory if judged by the same criteria used by a well-known advocate of Intelligent Design to justify his claim that ID is science, a landmark US trial heard on Tuesday.

Under cross examination, ID proponent Michael Behe, a biochemist at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, admitted his definition of “theory” was so broad it would also include astrology.

Regardless of what you think is or is not correct about evolution, it is science. Regardless of what you think is or is not correct about Intelligent Design, it is not science, and therefore has no business in a science class. Science is not about being right or wrong, science is about a process that lets you falisfy conclusions through the gathering of data. Period.

Anyone who claims differently, as they say, is selling something.
