Lawsuit Claims NASA Specialist Was Fired Over Intelligent Design Belief

New submitter period3 writes "The latest mission of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is defending itself in a workplace lawsuit filed by a former computer specialist. The man claims he was demoted and then let go for promoting his views on intelligent design, the belief that a higher power must have had a hand in creation because life is too complex to have developed through evolution alone."

    I wonder...If scientist ever figure out how to create life, will it be considered Intelligent Design?
