i've realized....

that in my heart of hearts, i do not accept that pluto is not a planet. i think the difference between a "dwarf planet" and an ordinary planet is nit-picking, irrelevant semantics. i think the scientists are being stupid to make a whole 'nother category because it's smaller. i think it doesn't really matter and i feel jerked around for no good reason. it makes me mad.
but teachers everywhere have changed their curriculum.
i will probably be one of those old ladies insisting to my grandkids that there are 9 (or 10 if they find another) planets while my children fume.
i wonder what would happen to the world if scientists everywhere started believing something drastically different from everyone else, something more bizarre than evolution - and the public simply refused to believe them. what if the public was right? or neither were right?
good story premise?

i think the percentage of people who believe in creationism/intelligent design to the EXCLUSION of evolution is VERY small. i think most christians, including myself, believe both.

I'd like to hope so

But the fact that the debate is still going on now, in 2007, gives me little reason to hope.
