Intelligent Falling (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Intelligent falling is a parody of the intelligent design movement. IF is a pseudoscientific supernatural explanation of the effects of gravity that has become a minor Internet phenomenon. It says free fall is being caused by "the hand of God," as depicted in Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel fresco. While the current incarnation of IF has its roots in a satirical 2002 Usenet posting, religious explanations of gravity invoking the direct intervention of God span several hundred years, including some of Isaac Newton's own writings. IF proposes that the scientific explanation of gravitational force cannot explain all aspects of the phenomenon, so credence should be given to the idea that things fall because a higher intelligence is moving them.
