Evolutionists seem terribly afraid of having anyone interpret scientific data differently than they do. The obvious question is "Why?"
Instead of an honest and open debate, with the intention of finding the truth, they desperately try to silence any opposition. One tactic they use is the attack against religion. Any discussion of evolution, where the precious theory comes under scientific questioning, quickly becomes a debate on religion, invariably started by the evolutionists.
The PBS series presented a part of the controversy with religious creationists......not all of it, and certainly not the most effective advocates within the religious field.
But, unless I missed it, they completely omitted the growing SCIENTIFIC body of evidence AGAINST evolution. A brief clip of Philip Johnson, discussing Intelligent Design, is the closest they came. There was nothing about the specific challenges to evolution brought up by scientists in genetic engineering who say evolution is not only not observed, but is not possible. And there was nothing about the inaccuracies of dating methods used. ("The rocks date the fossils, but the fossils date the rocks more accurately" is a classic quote.) The laws of probability argue against evolution numerically, also. Many fields of science can offer arguments against evolution, but they are not allowed on PBS or in the classroom.
That isn't good enough for a publicly-funded program. The series was very disappointing, in a scientific sense, even laughable at times, such as the animated "explanation" for the origins of sex. (Two cells kiss/contact and exchange genetic components, and then some of those single-celled organisms became faster, and suddenly they were like sperm cells and that's how it all began.........yeah, sure!)
I strongly object to the lies used by evolutionists to further their fantasy. Don't you feel cheated when you find out someone has lied to you?
It's much better to have the whole range of facts presented, and make your choice of belief freely. This PBS series was not science; it was simple propaganda.
