Understanding is just common sense

I’m a little behind the times bringing this up now, but ever since that Marysville teacher who held to the theory of intelligent design was banned from even mentioning in his classes, I have been getting more and more disgusted. How anyone with an ounce of common sense could reject that theory is beyond me. If there is an “original sin,” it would be this rejection. It is a literal “denial” of the intelligence we call God. It denies the obvious intelligence of life itself. Can anyone look at the beauty and smell the aroma of a rose and deny the intelligence behind it? How? Was it manufactured in an underground factory and pushed up through the ground?
