Nice to see that someone in the press understands what's going on.

but it is reasonable to say that evolution is thoroughly supported by a vast weight of scientific evidence and research.

poppycock

I read the book “The Evolution of a Creationist” By Dr Jobe Martin (ISBN 0-9643665-0-9).

The writer of this article states that teaching kids the other “theory” or assumptions which evolution are based on is a waste of time. In a round about way this author is saying that we should teach only one side and then teach this as the truth and as a matter of fact. Disregard any other information since this would “confuse” the kids.

I think this guy tops the “stupid meter”. Lets not teach another theory which happens to accommodate a religion because “We don’t like anything that gives possible credit to a creator”. We only use science when it gives us the answers we like. Unreal!

The book, if this guy even read it, explains the 7 basic assumptions (Verifiable fact) on which evolution stands. It goes through and explains all the holes and lack of information we have. The extrapolations made and at time the flat out lies that were presented as proof of evolution and attempting to fill those holes. Yes, the book is loaded with quotes from the bible, but this don’t make it wrong.

There are several other books out there that are similar. One is written by a micro biologist and goes into painful detail. He too will surely get a bad review by this guy. After all, he’s not preaching the party line either (evolution=intellectual and educated, creationism=bible thumper and idiot). Is this really a question of science for the writer of that article?

Evolution does not equal science. Evolution is a pitifully-conceived theory. Period. Evolution within a species - no problem there. Monkeys becoming people? Big problem there. Absolute no credible scientific evidence for that.

Teach both then debate it.

[Bandaneira]

The evolutionists are going to wake-up to the fact that there is indeed a higher force in the universe that intervenes in the affairs of humankind very soon. The process of this awakening is speeding up right now.
