The truth really is out there, and with the internet so widely available, there is no excuse for blindly accepting the Evolution theory, which is a taxpayer supported belief system (religion.)

It is really amusing to see the lengths to which creationists will go to try to discredit the theory of evolution.

We are told that the theory of evolution is a religion, although it has none of the hallmarks of religion.

We are also told that ID is science, although it has all of the hallmarks of religion.

So, calling a science religion is supposed to denigrate that science. But calling religion a science is supposed to elevate that religion?

Especially when neither of these claims is true?

I guess this is what is called creation "science" -- something like the opposite of real science, eh?

(Didn't George Orwell have a term for that kind of language manipulation?)

Science Frontiers is a secular science magazine, decidedly not Creationist. The anomoly articles are fascinating regarless of one’s world view.

Error and a half there ~ a firm, fixed, exclusionary belief in "evolution" is something that no rational person can differentiate from a religion ~ particularly the "old time religion" of the Greeks, Romans and so forth.

It even has one or more "demigods" ~ to wit, "natural selection".

You've got to wake up and smell the e coli being modified so we can test out all the millions of wild DNA molecules and RNA molecules in the oceans to see what they do (or are s'posed to do). Once that task is done, we can get back on this evolution thing and see if what we are looking at (in terms of life on Earth) is driven by spare parts cooked up elsewhere some time in the past by someone/something or mathematical determinism (whereupon we shall turn the whole business over to the math department), or yet some other process.

I seriously doubt the existence of the "demigods" hypothesized as controllers for biological change.
