Yes, Dorothy,
there is a Wizard. The
Kansas Board of Education has approved new standards that mandate the teaching of Intelligent Design as scientific theory.
Why, pray tell, is
this on
Wordlab? It's an homage to the illuminati at
Crooked Timber, a neologist noodling noology, who coined a new word for Intelligent Design as a subject taught in science class:
Paleyontology.
Paley is best remembered for his contributions to Christian apologetics. In 1802 he published Natural Theology, or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity collected from the Appearances of Nature, his last, and, in some respects, his most remarkable book. In this he described the Watchmaker analogy, for which he is probably best known.
And yes, Virginia,
there is a Santa Claus, too.
