That's a variation of "people are stupid." However, the golden opportunity has appeared for your side. Now is the time to present your case both to the public and to the courts that evolution is a certainty. Yet that's not happening. Why?
"That's a variation of "people are stupid." "
Nope. It's a variation on "People are ignorant about science." That is a true statement. Ignorance is fixable. Stupidity is not.
Most people don't really care about evolution enough to bother learning anything much about it. They don't care about the science behind anything in their lives, for the most part. That makes them ignorant of science, not stupid. They know about other things.
Even if they learned something about evolution in school, that information has probably slipped into oblivion, along with algebra, trigonometry, and half the other stuff that was taught.
Ignorance is one thing. Stupidity is another. I don't mind if someone's ignorant about the Theory of Evolution. I do mind if they are deliberately stupid about it and unwilling to learn. There are many of the second type in this controversy.
There are 2 reasons.
1. That's not what the Dover case is about.
2. It's already been done. And we're still waiting for ID to make any kind of scientific case for anything.
Because science is complicated. It doesn't make for good sound-bites. It requires reasoning, which we all know is in short supply.
People want simple solutions, especially ones that vindicate their inborn prejudices. That doesn't change the fact of evolution.
Didn't that happen when Behe, the expert witness for the defence, admitted that evolution and common descent are facts?
