There has never been seen a verified example of one species evolving into another. It just doesn't happen.

Wrong. In fact, very wrong. You'd think people would know by now how how false this statement is. Yet people keep claiming it, in willful disregard for the truth.

We're stil hoping you're TRYING to be funny

I think he's funny.

Althought I'll admit it'ss easy to wonder about the intent. Creationitssts mentioning homosexuality is as much a characteristic riff as John Kerry mentioning he served in Vietnam

O.K., I'll bite. It's a problem because American productivity is tied to technological innovation and utilization. By discovering and utilizing technology, our workers are more individually productive than those of other countries. That is in turn what enables us to maintain our standard of living. Countries that do not do this have lower standards of living. If don't maintain this lead, we'll be less able to compete with countries such as India and China, and the competition with them will cause our standards of living to converge.

I'm a believer in human freedom in general and the US Constitution in particular. The actions of the Kansas School Board infringe on both.

How?

Give it a minute. That sound you hear is the creationist moving the goalposts.

You can tell a lot about people by their obsessions.

You asked for a verified example, and I gave you one -- How about Homo erectus =====> Homo sapiens. Now you want it to have been observed and reproducible?

By your requirements, physical observation and reproducibility, pretty much nothing can be demonstrated. You are not doing science.

Do you believe in the global flood too?

Oh yeah, I know. Gets to be, you can figure it out three moves in advance.

Okay, you clearly don't have a rational argument to offer. Nevermind then.

...censorship of scientiests such as Behe.

Behe wasn't functioning as a scientist when he formulated his ID theories...there's not a bit of science in ID.

Actually science welcomes critiques that are meaningful and generated by data derived via the scientific method. In fact, that is exactly the way science progresses.

ID is actually sophistry.

Actually it's a problem for everyone. The techology of our species as a whole is made up of efforts from many countries. If technological innovation in a country falls it not only lowers that countries economy and esteem, but it also reduces the pace of global technological innovation.

My country (UK) is quite poor when it comes to research, I don't even think we're in the top 15 :(

I am glad the US is churning out so many innovations and research inititives as it makes up the most significant part of global technology inventions. I wish my country had the motivation to put more effort in when it came to research. But all the money gets wasted on socialist programs instead.

By adding religiously motivated falsehoods to the biology curriculum, they infringe on the right of Kansans to be free of an established religion.

Currently, you mean. The sectarian views of the Evolutionists are being forced on all of us. It will be nice to hear other viewpoints.

'Evolutionists' are not a religious group. In fact, advocates of the scientific theory of the origin of species subscribe to many religions, and in some cases to none. Evolution is no more a religion than math is.

By the same standard, your theory fails because my little blonde granddaughter doesn't look like an ape and if you say she does, you're in a world of trouble, pal.
Ah, the old missing link, eh? Piltdown Man was her other grandfather?
