I did, because I guess I didn't know my audience. I only had 10 minutes and figured they knew what it was (or at least what it had to do with). I couldn't have been further from the truth.
Well if you were trying to persuade them that ID is crazy, it should have been easy since you were working with a clean slate. Was it a requirement to have the audience disagree with you?
I imagine the presentation going something like this:
Fly: Class, I am here today to prove to you that Intelligent Design is a bunch of cock-a-mamy bullshits.
Fred: [whispers to the fat chick in the next row] wtf is this guy talking about. Is intelligent design some new company that shows you how to decorate your house?
April: [whipsers back to Fred] Yeah, I think so. I just saw them on T.V. and they helped me pick colors for my breakfast nook. Those guys are the shit!
Fred: Whatever
Fly: Does anyone in here honestly believe in Intelligent Design?
April: [raises hand] They totally hooked my place up with the feng shui, at least I think that's what they called it.
Fly: [smacks his own forehead] No, Intelligent design is the belief that some higher being has played a role in the creation and development of life on earth. It is very close to the creation theory.
Fred: That's the biggest bunch of bullshit I've ever heard.
April: Yeah, what kind of idiot would believe that?
Fly: Well I'm here to prove to you that it is completely idiotic...wait, did you just say you thought it was crazy?
Fred: Duh.
Professor: [uses the red marker a lot on his notepad] Sorry Mr. Fly, time is up. You may take your seat now.
Fly: Fuck.
