>>So, where once only the smartest human animals would “spread their seed”, now every moron and their brother is passing their “idiot” gene along to countless unsuspecting human offspring. This is not a good sign in Darwin’s Theory of evolution. <<

This has been a hilarious new front on the creationist front.

The “people are getting stupid” (idiocracy) argument, which ignores the nature of stochastism.

Thanks for the laughter. To see TToE in action (idiots breeding supra idiots) is all we need for a rebuttal presumption of TToE in action.

"This has been a hilarious new front on the creationist front."

I'm hardly an creationist. But, Darwin demands that evolution is at least is partially catalyzed by a species doing what it needs to do to improve itself in order to further it's chances of survival.

The original question of the article is, "Is the human brain still evolving". It seems logical, given man's current predilection to help the helpless, cure the sick, and feed the starving are all things that will work against evolution in the coming millennia. The importance of intellect, oddly enough, is becoming less important as it's no longer paramount to one's survival.
