Seems most Freepers on this matter have a hard time in the area of reading comprehension or just don't care about the content of the article.

The author of the article (Jonathan Wells) neither argues that Darwin was wrong nor that Darwin was right. Rather, he argues that the article in National Geographic does a disservice to its readers for its shallow and overly polemical content.

Wells points out specific ways in which the article would be unconvincing to an objective observer.

So Freepers can agree to disagree about evolutionary theory but all Freepers should agree that the National Geographic article (which I have read-though I will not subscribe) is a poor one.

Tell me: If the National Geographic ran an article on Newtonian physics, in which it brushed aside the arguements of those pushing antigravity and inertialess drives while at the same time brushing aside the problems with Newtonian physics (such as reletivistic issues); whoudl you still consider the article to be a poor one?

At some point, that which is clearly silly (ID) can be reasonably brushed aside in favor of that which is clearly reasonable.
