P-Rob to Dover, PA: "God's Gonna Getcha!"
Pat Robertson keeps it real. After residents of Dover, Pennsylvania voted out their entire pro-intelligent-design school board, Robertson warned the citizens of Dover, saying, "If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city." I'd like to think that no one still takes Pat Robertson seriously, but people continue sending him money.
I'm bothered that Pat equates rejecting intelligent design (ID) in schools with rejecting God. (And he's not the only person who feels that way.) According to ID theory, the intelligent designer is not necessarily God. Philip Johnson, founder of the ID movement says that the designer "could be space aliens or time travelers." Granted, many ID adovocates believe that the Christian God is the intelligence behind all of Creation. Then again, so do many evolutionists.

i think that the maker behind ID is actually the "brain" of lassie (yes, the tv dog star of old) that is being preserved in a vat somewhere in nevada.
if i am not around at the end of the weekend then you will know that this message is true and lassie sent timmy to apprehend me.
I like how you point out that adherers to ID theory do not necessarily have to believe that the Intelligent Designer is God. Most will not acknowledge this (both from the Evolution camp and the creation camp). Thank you for being honest...
josh, have you seen the south park episode where they take shots at robertson? it's insanely truthful in that brash southpark way
