Intelligent Design: Not religion, but...

...Pat Robertson didn't get the memo.

"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God -- you just rejected Him from your city," Robertson said on his daily television show, "The 700 Club."

"And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for His help because he might not be there," he said.

In voting Tuesday, all eight Dover, Pa., school board members up for reelection lost their positions after trying to introduce "intelligent design" to high school science students as an alternative to the theory of evolution.

So, contrary to the claims of those who have testified (under oath) that Intelligent Design / Intelligent Origin Theory is not purely scientific and religious in nature, choosing something other than ID/IOT is tantamount to choosing something other than God.

Q.E.D.
