Kathe's son Jake sends this:
Forget the Intelligent Design/evolution debate - there is something far
more important. For years our children have been taught physics in school
as if it was fact, when in it is really just a bunch of unproven theories.
There is an alternative explanation that I think should be put forward for
the sake of balance. I refer of course to MAGIC. Think about it -
everything that can be explained by physics can be equally well explained
by magic. How do planes fly? Magic! Why do objects fall towards the earth?
Magic! What makes the sun shine? Magic!
Consider the following facts:
* magic can explain everthing that physics can
* no-one has ever disproved that the universe works by magic
* there are things that physics cannot explain (OK, I cant think of any
right now, but I am sure there are), but they can easily be explained by
magic
* magic has been around far longer than physics
I think that if you objectively consider these facts you will see that
magic is just as valid a scientific theory as physics, and should be
taught as an alternative viewpoint in schools.
As a first step in returning magic to its rightful place in the education
system, I hope you will join me in lobbying your local educators and
lawmakers to have a statement read out in physics classes stating that it
is a valid alternative to conventional scientific theory.
