Irony award
Today's irony award goes to IB Prof Carole Hickman.
"Intelligent design is not science. The way the world looks right now is the result of natural selection and other processes operating," said Carole Hickman, integrative biology professor and curator of the UC Museum of Paleontology. "There is no supernatural being or force behind this process."
Intelligent design is indeed 'not science.' It doesn't pose or answer a scientific question. But you know what else isn't science? Saying "There is no supernatural being or force behind this process." How would you prove that? If we can only observe the natural, how can we draw conclusions about the presence or absence of a supernatural force?
