[ RadSafe ] Climate Change, physics and intelligent design

[Maury Siskel]

Advocates of including Intel Design in the science curricula of our 
schools will, I suppose, derive great satisfaction from the 
incorporation of Alchemy into the teaching of chemistry. After all, 
there should be some fairness in allocating the time given different ideas.

I think I need to review my graduate school notion about the testability 
of questions or some trivia like that....
Sadly,
