Intelligent design vs evolution

Austrian Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, shown here during a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica in April, says he sees "no problem combining belief in the Creator with the theory of evolution, under one condition — that the limits of a scientific theory are respected." Per MSNBC

I personally don’t see the problem. The scientific method doesn’t allow miracles and intelligent design requires them. By definition intelligent design does not belong in a science course as it doesn’t belong in a math classroom. It is by definition a different animal. This doesn’t mean that intelligent design doesn’t belong in school. It is appropriate to be discussed in history, government and sociology classes as it is a major factor in human history and sociology. I believe that it should be taught in school along with the other world views such as those of the Maya, Chinese and other civilizations.

Even our most advanced cosmological theories have a problem with how things got started. They just keep pushing the problem back to an earlier time. Initially it was the big bang. Now it is 11 dimensional banes or membranes that bang into one another to create universes of which ours is just one example. Another major theory has the continual creation of new universes so that everything that can happen does happen in some universe. Whenever there is a choice all possibilities happen but in different universes. We die many times during our life but each time in a different universe.

There are many strange things in the bible such as Jonah living in the whale. However, modern cosmology derived by the scientific method and appropriate to be taught in school is much stranger. Modern scientific thought presents a world view as do most religions. Perhaps the only consistent solution to what should be taught in school is to eliminate all world views, those derived by the scientific method and those derived but other means.

No, I don’t really mean this. It would be most appropriate to provide students with an overview of all world views.
