A cheap shot at creationists
Intelligent design creationists have a couple of favorite arguments. One is that science is based on a logically unsound fundament that they call philosophical naturalism. Another is that intelligent design creationism is just as valid as evolution and should be taught in the schools as a legitimate science. In the name of fairness I’m going to grant them both of their arguments, which, of course, leads me to the inescapable conclusion that intelligent design creationism is based on a logically unsound fundament. Although, I'm not exactly sure why that means we should be teaching it in our schools.
