Author Criticizes Intelligent esign UDK 10117 Richard Dawkins, renowned ethnologist and evolutionary biologist, spoke at the Lied Center on Oct. l6'h, in order to argue for the claim that intelligent design was a joke, and that any attempt to scientifically investigate God is a delusion. Dawkins was invited to campus to speak on behalf of the Humanities Lecture Series on the Difiicult Dialogues. The series focused on the split between faith and reason. Other speakers in the series were the Honorable John E. Jones, the Pennsylvania judge who ruled on the possibility of intelligent design being taught in public school classrooms, Os Guinness, and Eugenie C. Scott. To demonstrate the point that intelligent design is an unworkable scientific theory, Dawkins showed a phony front-page newspaper article in which t'Storkte1ligent Designf' the theory that the stork delivers babies, would soon be taught alongside pregnancy in Kansas schools. His arguments were not unanimously endorsed. About one-third of his audience sat as the rest gave him a standing ovation after his talk.
