Speaking of George F. Will

The esteemed conservative didn’t offer much support for the intelligent design movement during the roundtable on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos” on June 5. Will noted that “thoughtful people” are alarmed by the mechanism of evolution, “the idea of randomness.” But illustrating again that this is one issue on which fiscal conservatives aren’t afraid to disagree with social conservatives, he added: “The problem with intelligent design theory is that it’s not, not that it’s false but that it’s not falsifiable. There’s no confuting evidence, you can imagine, and therefore, it’s not a scientific doctrine, and therefore, it has no place in a public school scientific classroom.” Ouch.
