Maybe it’s an exercise in ego, but I like to do searches to see who has been linking to me. I found a blog called Just Deserts from here in Tucson that has been linking to my articles for a few weeks. The author goes by the name “Kiva Oraibi,” which is effin’ cool.
Anyhow, check it out. Her main issues seem to be immigration and marriage equality. Also, she wants the story of Tawa the Sun god to be taught along side evolution and intelligent design. What about I’itoy?

Way cool. Do you have any idea who it is?

I would agree that IF intelligent design is thought then her hypothesis deserves equal consideration. However, as I posted on August 2 (“Just science belongs in science class) and again on August 5 (“Darwinian theory stands on its own two feet”) there is a qualitative difference between evolution, for which plenty of supporting evidence has been collected (I collected some myself in my fruitfly experiments in genetics lab a few years ago) and what is put forward as a hypothesis based on personal belief but with no supporting evidence.

I’m secret, deliberately. I’m sure it will eventually get out, not even Duncan Black stayed anonymous, but for now, getting started, I want to hide a little.
Just think of me as a coyote, sitting at a computer, typing away with her front paws and her nose.
As for teaching intelligent design, I agree 100% with Eli. I actually WOULD like to see alternative myths taught, but in a religion/culture class, not in a science class. The point of my post was simply to point out how absurd I think the Intelligent Design/Creationist argument is.
Hugs and kisses,

kiva:
Thanks for the support.
And I have always had one question for proponents of intelligent design:
IF they really believe (as intelligent design states) that the very complexity and interworking of the world could not have come to pass except for God making it perfect, then wouldn’t that at least lead an honest proponent of the theory to be an environmentalist?
Well, apparently not President Bush (maybe it’s the adjective, ‘honest’ that is causing the contradiction).
