As Johnson puts it, "It is not now the men of faith; it is the skeptics who have reason to fear the course of discovery."

Sure, there's evidence that evolution takes place within a species — but the fossil record has not yielded evidence of one species becoming another, as Darwin confidently predicted. This lack of evidence has not gone unnoticed by sociologist Rodney Stark. Stark calls himself neither an evolutionist nor an advocate of Intelligent Design; instead, he says, he is merely a scholar pursuing the evidence where it leads. In For the Glory of God (Princeton University Press, 2003), Stark offers startling evidence that Darwinists have covered up mounting flaws in their theory. He concludes that the battle over evolution is hardly a case of "heroic" scientists fighting off the persecution of religious fanatics. Instead, from the start, evolution "has primarily been an attack on religion by militant atheists who wrap themselves in the mantle of science in an effort to refute all religious claims concerning a creator — an effort that has also often attempted to suppress all scientific criticisms of Darwin's work."

Only the "guilty" have reason to scream, Tribune!!! Thanks for the ping!
