The book (Guillermo Gonzalez co-authored with theologian Jay W. Richards called "The Privileged Planet" in 2004) claims that Earth is so unique, it must have been created by an "intelligent designer." Most scientists say there's no way to test that theory - as opposed to Darwin's theory of natural selection - so it belongs in religion or philosophy courses, not in science classes.

Avalos (Iowa State professor, Hector Avalos), who helped draft the faculty petition that says intelligent design abandons the basic tenets of science, doesn't dispute there's plenty of legitimate scientific data in Gonzalez's book. But the data are buttressed by a decidedly unscientific argument, Avalos says - that an intelligent designer must have intended Earth just so human life could arise and so humans could observe the universe.

He (Guillermo Gonzalez) believes too many people are vehemently against intelligent design but haven't read up on it.

"If they take time to read my book, they'll see I'm not a crackpot," Gonzalez says. "They'll see I present a very sober theory in the book. You can't know what people's arguments are like until you read it for yourself. And I claim that's to my advantage."

Of course selection exists, people working with plants and animals use this mechanism all the time.  it's EVOLUTION that is a lie from the pit of hell.  Selection and evolution are NOT the same!

The "scientific" community is really letting their hypocrisy show again.  You know, "don't confuse me with the facts!"
