When we discuss the issue of fiber optics, we’re talking about an advocacy campaign to get citizens to drink Metamucil and wear glasses.

The theory of General Relativity is applicable to the field of military geneaology.

They practice Rocket Science over at Radio City Music Hall. It’s the study of how to perfect the synchronization of pretty legs.

So who else read yesterday’s letters to the AJC? I found this one to be too funny:

Science, not religion, drives argument

Those who argue that intelligent design is religiously based and not scientific are, at best, ill-informed.

This amazes me, because I use the criteria of ID every day in my work as a forensic scientist to determine whether an event was caused by a natural cause or an intelligent one. Our science and methods are accepted by the scientific community and by the Georgia courts from the municipal to the federal level.

In more than 18 years of testifying in Georgia courts, I have yet to testify as to the existence or nonexistence of a divine being. ID is not religiously based and is scientifically applicable.

DONALD DICKS, Alpharetta

If, god forbid, I ever need an advocate in court, remind me that I would never want Donald Dicks to testify on my behalf. Intelligent Design is a theological statement that claims to have some merit within the study of biology.

Donald Dicks, claiming to be a forensic scientist, not only showed a remarkable ignorance toward legitimate evolutionary biology, but he also misapplied the concept of ID toward an entirely unrelated field. A self-proclaimed forensic scientist who misapplies scientific concepts is not the guy I would want to have on my side.
