SKYLINE EXTRA CREDIT
An easy one to
start off. For your first 5 points extra credit, tell me the last word
on your syllabus. You can drop me an email me at jgiacobbe_skyline@cox.net, give me a slip of paper, or even tell me in class.
For an extra twenty points, do a
little research and tell me what Intelligent Design Theory is. A short
paragraph will do, and you might start off by checking out this web site, this one, and this one too. For a more in-depth anakysis, check out this fantastic page, hosted by hosted by the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.
Finally, you can check out a viable and much more fun alternative to ID with my personal favorite, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
If you're curious, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is a (satirical parody) religion
created to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to allow
intelligent design to be taught in science classes alongside evolution. The
religion has become an Internet phenomenon that has garnered many followers of
the Flying Spaghetti Monster (sometimes referring to themselves as
Pastafarians) who claim to have been touched by "His Noodly
Appendage" and preach the word of their "noodly master" as the
one true religion. Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is primarily the invention of
the prophet Bobby Henderson, a graduate of Oregon State
University with a degree
in physics.
Again, for your extra credit, you can drop me an email me at jgiacobbe_skyline@cox.net, or give me your short answer in class.
Pastafarian!
