Bumper sticker. . .(shudder)

false dichotomy?

are you sure that the owner of the bumper sticker is an IDer? maybe the owner is a radical solipsist, (and evolution of ones ancestors exists outside of oneself, the universe, so it can be excluded as a non-truth). -- or perhaps he is challenging the mitsubishi lancer evolution (sports car)'s claims.

perhaps he abscribes to some other "world view", such as the one with elephants standing on top of tortoises -- or the great sneeze.
 
a thought in need of a slogan, the sort of thing that has bugged me for a while:

I am intellingent, therefore I suspect I may have been designed to be so
I begin to wonder what "intelligence" and "design" mean
I examine evidence and contemplate models of intellingence
I lose my interest in the concept of design as it relates to my very being, but retain it in the attitude toward my works
I become more fascinated by the explanations from others' works--those baboons in the last Scientific American were interesting. Social behavior as regional adaptation.. hmmm

A slogan for that process, suitable for bumper sticker, would be cool to me. Maybe a little fish that invents a computer that makes up a God that explains fishness to the fish. A little Turing Fish machine next to it.

OK, I give up. Discussion by car ornament is not one of the main avenues for any of this, after all.

'Ello all! 'Nother random incident that occured yesterday. I was driving to my friend's place when I saw a Cherokee with the bumper sticker:

EVOLUTION IS A LIE!

I live just north of the Kansas City area on the Missouri side, but I work in the city and regularly drive back and forth between Kansas and Missouri. There is a billboard on I-35 just after you cross over into Kansas from downtown Kansas City that says "Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups." Of course, it's Kansas, so what do you expect, but jeez!!! The people who believe in a talking snake, a man living inside of a whale, a big boat filled magically with millions of animals, and someone coming back from the dead (after turning water into wine and other magical acts) are calling someone else's theory a fairy tale?!?!?! Unbelievable!
 
This is sort of off-topic because it's about Bush-bashing, but it's also sort of on-topic because it's about a bumper sticker, so forgive me...

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "How You Like Him Now?" I loved it! I immediately went home to try to find one to order for myself, but I couldn't find one anywhere. Anybody know where I might find one?

What's wrong with "There is No Evidence for Intelligent Design"? I realize that bumper stickers like "Evolution is a Lie" are meant to be put-downs but ours would actually be true. You won't change anyone's mind either way but at least we could have the intelectual and moral high ground.

That's what I was going for.

Why get into a philosophocial debate with these people when the evidence is on our side?

I do see your point, tkinkdoll.

Sadly, though, that plays into the hands of the IDers. Bumper stickers are supposed to be a put-down, a 'cussed yo momma' kind of thing.

It needs to be in yer face! That's what sensationalism is about. We might be right, but they have the guts to call us liars. Groovy, let's call 'em names right back.

I vote for:

Intelligent Design Is Stupid.

It implies that IDers are stupid just as they imply that supporters of evolution are liars.

I second this one.

Well, bumper stickers really are on topic in this thread. I really wasn't able to find "How You Like Him Now?" but found these instead:

I don't care for that one as a bumper sticker. I saw one last week that I almost got that said "Higher Powered" I think I'll have to go back and get that one.

"Higher Powered" is usually a reference that the owner is at least familiar with the tenets of AA/NA/[Insert vice]Anonymous, and is often a non-religious reference to someone who is in recovery.
:rolleyes:
 
I'd like to see: "Waiting for the Rapture, kegger at my place where we can ring in the new Age of Reason"
 
bumper sticker....

how about the metaphorical

"your momma's a monkey..."
 
Some proposals for a bumper sticker in response to the one proclaiming "Evolution Is A Lie!":

"Intelligent Design Is Neither."
"Intelligent Design Supporters Have An Irreducible Complex."
"Creation Science Wasn't Very Intelligently Designed."

'Luthon64
 
An interesting (well, to me, anyway) juxtaposition of bumperstickers I once saw on a car.

"Come the Rapture this car will be an unmanned vehicle"

and

"My other car is a Romulan Warbird"

Romulan fundies?!?
 
I have a t-shirt that says "God was my co-pilot until we crashed into that mountain and I had to eat him"... Gets quite a few looks when I wear it around.

The sound bite is the domain of the ignorant--we're not gonna win that battle.
 
If it makes you feel better, I saw several bumperstickers in nearby Chapel Hill that read:

"Christians - can't live with them, can't throw them to the lions anymore..."

I'm still trying to find one for my car.

You need to get it down a bit more, how about:

Intellegent Design Ain't!
