Re: Evolution Must Be Taught in Public Schools

As a side note, there is a book out by Michael Behe, arguably the biggest single advocate of Creationism in the USA. The Edge of Evolution, I think it's called. I read the first chapter. Behe now admits that creatures did in fact change over geologic time due to natural forces. In other words, "evolution happened". Even HE can no longer resist the mountainous tide of evidence for that.

He has backed up to yet another defensive position, trying to prove that all the cosmological evidence and oldest geological evidence and chemical evidence "proves" that the Universe was "designed" (or constructed by some "intelligence"), with the sentient intention of artificially seeding Earth with the first "life" in such a way that it would eventually evolve into a specifically intended (preordained) intelligent creature (us) capable of knowing and appreciating its Creator.

So, HBond, your "chief creationist general" has abandoned the fight against Evolution, leaving you and your small band of insurgents alone on the field, facing the "massed artillery" of evidence and reason that supports Evolution.

If I wuz you, I would start digging a foxhole about now.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
