Dismissing evidence? Who's doing that? All I see here is science working the way it should, with errors being found out and corrected. If science worked like religion, whoever turned up the evidence would be threatened with torture or burned at the stake, and nobody would have to change their point of view just because of some pesky facts.

Dakmar...

I took a few minutes to decipher that post, and I must say I agree with a lot of what you said.

These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(limited NON-intrusive PC Govt/religion---schools)!

Dakmar...

Where you and I diverge is on the Evolution/Communism thing. You seem to view Darwin and evolution as the beginning of the end for enlighted, moral civilization, while I think Marx, class struggle, and the "dictatorship of the proletariat" are the true dangers.

God bless you, I think we both have a common enemy in the BRAVE-NWO.

Now I follow, thank you. Actually, I don't disagree with this at all since I see the left as abandoning the uncertianty of democracy and majority rule for the assurance technocracy and expert rule.

corrected. If science worked like religion,

When evolutionists get shown to be wrong, they always bring up religion. The argument here is not between religion and evolution. The argument here is between the pseudo-science of evolution and real science. Real science examines and tests the evidence before assertions. Pseudo-science like evolution makes wild assertions with no evidence. This is what the article shows quite well - evolution is pseudo-science.
