A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism
During recent decades, new scientific evidence from many scientific disciplines such as cosmology, physics, biology, "artificial intelligence" research, and others have caused scientists to begin questioning Darwinism's central tenet of natural selection and studying the evidence supporting it in greater detail.
Yet public TV programs, educational policy statements, and science textbooks have asserted that Darwin's theory of evolution fully explains the complexity of living things. The public has been assured that all known evidence supports Darwinism and that virtually every scientist in the world believes the theory to be true.
The scientists on this list dispute the first claim and stand as living testimony in contradiction to the second. Since Discovery Institute launched this list in 2001, hundreds of scientists have courageously stepped forward to sign their names.
The list is growing and includes scientists from the US National Academy of Sciences, Russian, Hungarian and Czech National Academies, as well as from universities such as Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and others.
A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism "We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged."
"There is scientific dissent from Darwinism. It deserves to be heard."

You must be mistaken, evolution is just as scientific as global warming...

And note the Google.com celebration of his birthday. Took me a minute to figure out what the "happy birds and flowers" picture was all about.
Ah well, it isn't like they don't celebrate 4th of July, or Christmas, or...oh wait.

Not to mention ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S Birthday!

One Nation Under God:
...dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.... that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.... Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, 1863.
One nation under the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism:
But then with me the horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of mans mind, which has been developed from the mind of the lower animals, are of any value or at all trustworthy. Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey's mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind? Charles Darwin, Letter to William Graham, 1881. Died 1882.

Lawyers, judges, editors, PBS, PTA, etc. Not unwashed masses, clergy, parents, or any such who openly worship God or accept a notion of divine creation.

That would explain why there are so many errors and lies in textbooks, then.

You are awfully new to FR to know anything about our loathing of DU. What did you say your old screenname was again?
To: GodGunsGuts; Darwin Fish
Yeah, but now Lincoln's birthday will be Obama's day.
Unless I misread the original post, GGG was basically showing how Darwin's theories were being doubted...?
To: tongue-tied
He’s just PO’d because I have been posting papers and articles exposing Darwin’s fanciful creation myth all day in “honor” of Darwood’s bicentennial b-day.
To: Darwin Fish
All plants from DU support evolutionism. Its their religion.

I’m off to dinner. Let me know if DF fesses up about his pre-ban screenname.
To: GodGunsGuts
No comparison at all of Darwin to Lincoln except born on the same day

You can add Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Etheridge to the list.
We paleontologists have said that the history of life supports [the story of gradual adaptive change], all the while really knowing that it does not.
Niles Eldredge, Time Frames: The Rethinking of Darwinian Evolution and the Theory of Punctuated Equilibrium (New York: Touchstone, 1986), quoted in Johnson, Darwin on Trial.
“At the core of punctuated equilibria lies an empirical observation: once evolved, species tend to remain remarkably stable, recognizable entities for millions of years. The observation is by no means new, nearly every paleontologist who reviewed Darwin’s Origin of Species pointed to his evasion of this salient feature of the fossil record. But stasis was conveniently dropped as a feature of life’s history to he reckoned with in evolutionary biology. And stasis had continued to be ignored until Gould and I showed that such stability is a real aspect of life’s history which must be confronted-and that, in fact, it posed no fundamental threat to the basic notion of evolution itself. For that was Darwin’s problem: to establish the plausibility of the very idea of evolution, Darwin felt that he had to undermine the older (and ultimately biblically based) doctrine of species fixity. Stasis, to Darwin, was an ugly inconvenience.”
* Time Frames: The Rethinking of Darwinian Evolution and the Theory of Punctuated Equilibria, Simon & Schuster: New York NY, 1985, pp.188-189
a species does not arise gradually by the steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears all at once and fully formed.
Stephen Jay Gould
