This part is laughable. It is from the great minds of the cult of cosm-evo evo-cosmo cult of the flying spaghetti monster.

" Indeed, "It makes as little sense to doubt the factuality of evolution as to doubt the factuality of gravity."

By "evolution" in these passages, Coyne means Darwin's notion that all living things are descended from one or a few common ancestors.

But note Coyne's choice of words: "all" of the evidence supports common ancestry, which is as much a "fact" as gravity, so "we know" that it's true.

Now we know where all the little evo sycophant sock puppets get their material from.

"To take a line of fossils and claim that they represent a lineage is not a scientific hypothesis that can be tested, but an assertion that carries the same validity as a bedtime story -- amusing, perhaps even instructive, but not scientific."

HA HA, what will they do now with all of the great flow charts, the skull drawings, the soup, (is hot is it cold? who cares as as it is mans) then the trilobite to ape then man.. its all there cant you see?

Interesting.

Coyne and his fellow Darwinists love to chant that the evidence for Darwinism is "overwhelming" -- and so it is, if we have to shovel it. How could it be otherwise? For decades, Darwinism has enjoyed a taxpayer-supported monopoly in the biological sciences. Scores of journals dedicated to advancing it have churned out literally tons of articles. Anyone who actually reads the literature of evolutionary biology with an open mind, however, soon realizes that almost all of it simply assumes that the theory is true. What is "overwhelming" is not the evidence, but the faith it takes to call Darwinian evolution a fact even after 150 years of failing to find much of any evidence for its core tenets.

This is why Darwinists cannot allow biology students to think critically about evolution, much less to hear about alternative theories such as intelligent design.

But Coyne leaves out one important detail. Eighty years ago in Tennessee, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued to permit the teaching of Darwinian evolution. Today in Pennsylvania, the ACLU is suing to prohibit the teaching of anything but Darwinian evolution.

*************

A perfect example of irony?
