It’s easy to remember this outline of the argument against evolution: First Law – Second Law – Fossils and Genes - mathematical odds. Just kind of rolls off the tongue.

A sad story, allowing yourself to be pressured into believing a lie.

People believe Darwin’s lie because they’re afraid to question the establishment.

The local news on any given night refutes that this population is the result of eons of the “fittest” having survived. Most comical is that the same people that believe in evolution think homosexuality is genetic.

Darwinism is not science or theory... may have been once but recent discoveries (Behe’s work among others) has greatly weakened it. Darwin may have been sincere, but today the theory that bears his name has hit bottom, and morphed into an ideology... a totalitarian one. Its tenets and “facts” are little more than speculations. It can’t explain the origin of the first cell!

It current and only purpose is the remove God from the conversation... why else do Darwinists go apoplectic at the mere mention of ID. They admit they don’t how we got here... but with certainty “know” how we didn’t... ID Creator.

It’s be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic. #DarwinIrony

Agreed. Evolution is a “just so” story for the weak of mind. There’s zero evidence for the literally billions of intermediate species which MUST exist for goo to you through the zoo to be true. Evolution was the first “consensus” hoax, and global warming is the new kid on the block. Consensus science simply isn’t science. It amounts to little more than bullying into silence the “nonbelievers” in the consensus du jour.

Changes within species? Sure. Anything else? Nope.

Here is an excellent interview by Peter Robinson with Drs. Meyer, Berlinski, and Gelernter.

‘What science did Darwin initially espouse when it came to how everything came into being?’

Darwinism makes no claim for the origin of existence; it is concerned with the origins of life on earth...

‘Life on the earth has all the hallmarks of a top down intelligently directed design.’

and these hallmarks are what, exactly...?

‘People believe Darwin’s lie because they’re afraid to question the establishment.’

come now; religions throughout history have been, and continue to be, notorious for quashing free inquiry...

nonsense; they simply don’t fall for knee jerk nonsense such as “God of the Gaps’ when confronted with an unknown...read the decision in Kitzmiller v Dover, and be informed...

How did Charlie explain the origin of life on earth? Did life happen by magic, or was life placed here by the creator of our existence?

‘programming’ that defies the mathematical odds of random amino acids coming together to form proteins; especially given the amount of given time for this to happen, which has been relatively extremely short compared to the amount of time needed for it to happen without direction.

No different than computer coding.... language doesn’t just fall in place to create prescriptive code. www.amazon.com would never be created just randomly binding code together.

‘it still has the hallmarks of design which, by definition, suggests a designer.’

and by further definition, a designer implies a prior designer, and on and on...or does it not...? and if not, explain why not...?

A better storyline to its recent polling data might be that only one in five Americans believes in Darwinism...

57% of Americans believe in evolution and that percentage is growing.

Some of them think God "guided" it, whatever that means, and others think not, but most recognize that it's happened.

Even Darwin himself, being a religious man, may well have believed in some level of divine guidance.

ah, no time for it all to happen; I see...so it was all just ‘poofed’ into existence, to conform to some imputed timeline...yeah, that makes sense...

not poofed into existence at all..... no clue how it came into existence... but do know that Darwin’s theory requires one to suspend belief in math to explain anything more than adaptations.

Scientism is the enemy of science. The triumph of scientism is the death of science. Scientism forecloses alternative theories and demands totalitarian groupthink.

Scientism is the new Tower of Babel.
