Idiocy at the Midmost Levels of NASA

[elfs]

George Deutsch, a White-House appointed watchdog to NASA's press office, ordered NASA's web designer to put the word "theory" after every instance of the phrase "Big Bang."

The Big Bang is not proven fact; it is opinion. It is not NASA's place, nor should it be to make a declaration such as this about the existence of the universe that discounts intelligent design by a creator. This is more than a science issue, it is a religious issue. And I would hate to think that young people would only be getting one-half of this debate from NASA. That would mean we had failed to properly educate the very people who rely on us for factual information the most.

I think I would vote for the wording, "it is less than a science issue, it is a religious issue."

I also think it unlikely to be coincidence that Intelligent Design shortens to "Id". I suspect Freud would agree that this is what happens when the Id attempts to run everything.
