ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell University Interim President Hunter Rawlings III on Friday condemned the teaching of intelligent design as science, calling it "a religious belief masquerading as a secular idea."

"Intelligent design is not valid science," Rawlings told nearly 700 trustees, faculty and other school officials attending Cornell's annual board meeting.

"It has no ability to develop new knowledge through hypothesis testing, modification of the original theory based on experimental results and renewed testing through more refined experiments that yield still more refinements and insights," Rawlings said.

I haven't worked out all the details yet but I'm working on a so called Piss Poor Design theory. The basic idea is that humans are so complex, have so many moving parts and are so dependant on the correct workings of a myriad of chemical and biological functions, not to mention the extremely specific food and environmental requirments, that only a lunatic or a raw beginner could have come up with such a piss poor design. Where's the simplicity? Where's the durability? Anyway, I'm going to work on it when I have time and would like to see it in the schools next year.
