Unless the subject is "Climate Change"...
“Evolution does not explain Creation.” - Charles Darwin
I see no problem with that statement.
Why would anyone expect a left wing organization to care about free speech? They are the ones who eliminate free speech when they get into power.
What they have is a quasi-religious philosophy that mankind is evil, the earth is good, and that therefore man must be harming the earth. That and the evidence from ground based recordings that the average temperatures have risen over the last few decades.
I actually am a geologist. And I went into it because the wonder of the earth and its formation are truly a marvel to see. The things that the average person glosses over as “pretty” or just interesting are beautiful and awe inspiring to me. I have no problem with reconciling God creating it and the evidence before me of how long it took.
Well, exactly true.
The worst thing we can do, and they have us jumping through hoops like trained dogs these days, is divide and take out after each other.
Who benefits when useful idiots tear holes in one another?
Dang and we are sooo falling for it!
It takes a lot of stones to say that.
Cool. Do we get to see where the ID proponents perjured themselves when trying to distance the ID policy from their religious agenda?
True enough. The Discovery Institute has no credibility left - they've been caught in too many lies.
Heat is explained by one dominant theory too, but you know my house is still pretty warm.
Breaking News, no less.
The people making these attacks on science are the people who spend their lives trying to force schools to teach religion.
For them to come back and say that teachers are not allowed to even say they don’t oppose religion and that science doesn’t oppose religion is highly hypocritical.
The lawyers and PR flacks at the Dyscovery Institute are getting hysterical over this NOVA show. I think they are afraid that what once was a dry court transcript is now being made into a memorable visual event -- and the trial showed how truly disingenuous the Dyscovery Institute's support for ID really was.
Here are some of the highlights of the Dyscovery Institute's role in the Dover affair (from the Court's decision).
“Can they show Inherit the Wind? That’s a movie about a trial as well.”
I’d drink to that if they also had to show “Monkey Trial”, the American
Experience episode about what happened in Dayton, TN. It’s actually a
decent documentary as “American Experience” is one of the few islands
of quality in the tax-dollar black hole that is PBS.

Why anyone would ever trust the government to raise their children is a source of endless amazement to me.
I just don’t understand why some conservatives seem to fall for the claims of liberals. That tells me something about the power of public school indoctrination.
Man-made global warming is a very young hypothesis. The problem is that it got quickly politicized in only a decade or so and pushed far beyond the evidence by people with non-scientific motivations (like Gore wanting to be relevant).
Contrast with Natural Selection, which came to acceptance on its merits over a much longer period.
I suggest a counter-point.
