While I often support the Theory of Evolution, I don't really care who teaches what in public schools. Call it apathy if you wish, but the debate concerning evolution in public school curriculum is much too political for my tastes. I am more interested in why you believe what you do.

"ridiculous assertion that somehow man evolved from pond water."

I don't think that the theory of evolution has ever asserted that man, or any life for that matter, evolved from pond water. Where did you learn this?

"support their evidence more scientifically than so called `evolutionary scientists.'"

How is support for Intelligent Design more scientific than that of evolution?

"It's also true that most American people agree with me."

What poll led you to this conclusion?

Boxen,

Everything I said was true - when I said pond water, I suppose I could be more specific and site the famous Stanley Miller prebiotic soup experiment that the scientific community embraced. If you read about this model, I would suggest I was being kind in using that description.

Well, I believe if you actually study all the evolutionary theories , for example, the specific topic of this post, punctuated equilibria, you will understand my assertion.

I believe all polls taken support this - you could use your search engine to confirm this.
