Do you really think the author doesn’t know how long Scott has been around? He’s obviously referring to her in the context of being among the most recent PROMINANT voices calling for the universal enforcement of the Temple of Darwin’s evo-religion.
I'm sure Creation science will solve our energy needs any day now.
If it weren’t for the random processes of quantum mechanics your computer wouldn’t work.
“That’s like telling judges not to examine all sides of the evidence in a murder case.”
—More like telling judges not to allow slander, hearsay, or psychics claiming that their tarot cards reveal the “real” killer - and instead only allow material that’s relevant to a court case and which meets certain standards.
Likewise there are (or should) be scientific standards for what is taught in the science classroom. If a particular theory or claim is rejected as unscientific by the overwhelming majority of scientists (including the overwhelming majority of Christian scientists) than why pray-tell teach it in science class? It would be rather pointless to call it “science class” anymore, and be more like the “whatever class”. Science class is not the place for political correctness - stuff shouldn’t be taught just because not teaching it would hurt people’s feelings.
That exact same poll found that 53 percent of Americans think "evolution, that is, the idea that human beings developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life" is true, compared to 44 percent who think it's false. So the author's summary of the poll is, um, misleading, to put it kindly. Unfortunately, that's par for the course.
If it weren’t God there would be no one to care.
How could anyone possible know the answer to that question if quantum randomness cannot be measured? And besides, just because quantum processes lie beyond the reach of our crude ability to measure the same, does not mean they are random in any ultimate sense. Indeed, what we are unable to measure and predict is PERFECTLY measurable and predictable to God.
Matthew 10:29-30
You accuse GGG of being misleading. Instead you mislead. Here is the site http://www.gallup.com/poll/21814/evolution-creationism-intelligent-design.aspx.
The actual number of people who use the term millions of years in their answers is 50% not 53% and of those 50%, 36% use the term "God guiding". Darwinism has no mention of God. If you wish to play that game, 80% of those questioned think that God produced man.
The way you stated your sentence you even got the 44% wrong. It should be 49% who think "X" is false. You must include the 5% "other" when you negate one of the answers(except of course, "other").
No, I don't think he does.
Saying Eugenie Scott is a "new face" in the world of the evolution debate is like saying Al Franken is a "new face" to liberalism because he just got elected to the Senate.
The picture refers to the article, nothing more.
Actually it sums up the position of science on the merits of “Intelligent” Design and Creation “Theory”.
Good thing we don’t have a poll on how airplanes fly or how germs cause disease, because there’d be a lot more people dying every year.
I guess that’s meant to be some kind of insult. A dumb one, but an insult none the less.
“So pervasive has Dr. Scott's activism become that TV gossip shows like The View have become forums for ridiculing those parents who would refuse to teach their children the beliefs of Charles Darwin. Co-host Joy Behar publicly stated that not teaching Darwinism is tantamount to child abuse!”
Yeah, right. Read this
World Death Rate Holding Steady At 100 Percent
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND—World Health Organization officials expressed disappointment Monday at the group's finding that, despite the enormous efforts of doctors, rescue workers and other medical professionals worldwide, the global death rate remains constant at 100 percent.

==Science class is not the place for political correctness
You mean like the court mandated Temple of Darwin indoctrination that goes on in our classrooms that holds that biology is the study of complex things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose, but in reality it’s all just an illusion?
Ouch!!!
If the truth gets taught, evolution is dead.
Only 19% buy the crapola now, and it can’t take any competition from physical evidence.
Hey, blo-job fish, where’d you get the laughing gas?
