Chuckmorse: "The Monkey Trial - Evolutionary Politics in the post-Traditional Age by Chuck Morse"

If you wish to argue that today's culture has sunk ever deeper these past, oh say, 150 years, and that evolution theory has been misused to justify countless horrors, then I'm all with you -- tell it like it is.

But if you somehow suggest that this makes the scientific theory of evolution invalid, I'd call that a non-sequitur.
It would be like saying that since the Atom bomb killed so many people, therefore it's science is flawed.

Bottom line: the scientific evolution hypothesis has been confirmed often enough to be considered a valid theory, and some of its processes (descent with modifications, natural selection) have been observed, making them facts.

Allegations of "flaws" notwithstanding, there is no confirmed evidence to validly falsify the theory.
