It's nothing more than an "I don't know. I give up." mentality.
And this is a problem because the people that support this mentality are making headway in getting it implemented in our educational system.

Truly depressing. I had heard a debate on "Intelligent Design" on NPR's Talk Of The Nation, many moons ago, but didn't follow up on it. I appreciate the clarification on it. Now it sounds even worse.
I used to think they were just desperate people clutching at straws. Now, I am afraid that they are the riptide of the future.
