Good News.....This Morning on the radio it was reported that all of the Dover, Creationist/ID school board members, were voted out by an embarrassed electorate.

[Pharmboy]

The Brits have always had a unique perspective on this. When visiting Westminster Abbey for the first time back in the '70s, I was amazed to find a particular within in the floor in a prominant position in England's National Church. It was Charles Darwin.

The
official beer
of Darwin Central

[RightWhale]

One thing I find mystifying is the application of information theory to either evolution or ID, or even cosmology. It seems as appropriate as applying relativity to sociology or digital computers to psychology. Analogies don't serve as philosophical proofs, and metaphors don't provide more than fleeting poetic images.
