The Origin of Complexity

I found this interesting article from Evan Ratliff and published by Wired Magazine titled “Crusade against Evolution” showing that some smart guys in Columbus, OH are pushing the envelope and breaking what we consider to be the absolute truth: the 140 years old Darwinian Evolutionist paradigm. With their proposal, public schools are about to teach evolutionist concepts using the ‘teach the controversy’ approach. <>

What makes interesting this approach, besides opening minds and room for debate, is that Creationism which has foundations in many antique traditions and religions is now using science, although some claim it to be pseudo-science, to explain why complexity must have a maker. These ideas are hard to conciliate, but it seems that the stage will be ready for our kids learn to deal with the dichotomy matter-spirit. Philosophers have made for centuries huge contributions to these subjects, so I leave these words from Einstein:

"I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation. I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt by modern science. [He was speaking of Quantum Mechanics and the breaking down of determinism.] My religiosity consists in a humble admiration of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality. Morality is of the highest importance -- but for us, not for God." ["Albert Einstein: The Human Side", Princeton University Press]
