Videnskab er svært!

Dahlia Lithwick mener, at vi burde acceptere intelligent design ideen, fordi det ville gøre alting meget nemmere. Alle hullerne i vores viden ville blive fyldt ud med gud, og det er da meget nemmere, end hvis vi selv skal fylde dem, for videnskab er jo som bekendt pokkers besværligt og ikke mindst SVÆRT.
Her er et par citater:

"Let's face it: The problem with science has always been that each new discovery unleashes thousands of new questions and ambiguities. So really, the more we discover new stuff, the stupider we get. Clearly, that isn't working. ID says we shouldn't bother ourselves with resolving scientific inconsistencies or untangling puzzles. We should recognize that what God really wants is for us just to stop learning."

"There are many thorny medical mysteries doctors can't explain: How can pluripotent stem cells give rise to any type of cell in the body? Why is the genetic marker for Huntington's disease characterized by an excess of trinucleotide repeats? What accounts for the phenomenon of spontaneous remission in some cancers? With intelligent design, we don't ever need to find out. Years from now, we'll all lie in our hospital beds while ID-trained doctors hold our hands and assure us that we are merely dying of God."

"My modest proposal would be that, instead of using intelligent design merely to fill in the gaps and inconsistencies of our most intractable scientific puzzles, we roll back what we've already learned about science and plug God into the equation at the outset. Kind of cut out those annoying scientific middlemen. That apple didn't fall onto Sir Isaac Newton's head because of gravity. It was God. God didn't want Newton to study science, and he doesn't want us to, either. And I, for one, am relieved. As Galileo famously said, and Teen Talk Barbie famously paraphrased: "Science is hard.""

Ja, videnskab er sgu svært, så måske skulle man - magelig som man er - overveje hendes forslag!
