Scientific storkism is the scientific belief that babies do not come about by the naturalistic, materialistic, scientific theory (and it's only a theory) of reproductive biology.

Scientific storkism, like its close relative, scientific creationism, is demonstrated by showing that somehow, somewhere, there is something wrong with reproductive biology. If there is something wrong with reproductive biology, scientific storkism must be true.

A recent innovation in storkism is Intelligent Delivery, availing the Big Top strategy, which encompasses other beliefs about where babies come from, such as the Cabbage Patch Theory. Intelligent Delivery does not concern itself with controversies among the opponents of reproductive biology and does not decide for The Stork as being the Intelligent Deliverer.

One argument for Intelligent Delivery is that there are Irreducibly complex features of living things, which therefore could not come about by gradual, random, reproductive processes, and therefore must have been intelligently delivered.

Another argument is that, for reproduction to work, the male cannot have been reproduced before the female, nor the female before the male.

At least, to be fair, the schools should give equal time to Intelligent Delivery, and let the kids decide which makes sense.
