any area of inquiry (such as wave vs. particle theories of light)
Wrong. These are not alternative theories. Light
is both a wave and a particle, depending on how
you set up your test.

That's a sort of an understatement. Natural selection is a destructive and not a constructive process and is the major reason for the stasis we find in the fossil record; it weeds out anything an iota to the left or right of dead center for a particular species. Talking about natural selection creating new species of animals is like talking about constructing buildings with a wrecking ball.
Rastifari would in fact lend itself rather well to certain kinds of team-teaching situations, e.g. a bio teacher looking for a way to put 30 teenagers into the proper frame of mind to be indoctrinated into something as stupid as evolutionism could walk across the hall to the Rasta class for a box of spliffs...
What flaws? It perfectly explains eye formation. Horses. Whales. Mammals. Birds. Blood clotting. There is no debate to be had. Everyone knows that things happen. Live with it.
It annoys me whenever other fundmentalists continue to argue against something which is substantiated by all evidence availabel on the subject. By their incredible ignorant actions they are merely drawing discredit upon Christianity and the Bible.
They should all wise up, wake up, and grow up. Evolution is here to stay because it is the mechanism God used to create man.
These illustrious scientists appear to be somewhat behind the times.
...and he wants to make sure it stays that way by continuing to muzzle anyone who dares to speak against evolution.
I wasn't aware of any evidence against the theory of evolution. Understanding evolutionary theory is central to my work as a biochemist. Not to say that intelligent design is not at work here; sometimes people in my field just have to sit back in awe at the sheer complexity of it all.
IOW it is saying (albiet never openly or forthrightly, mind you) that there must be miracles somewhere. Where, you ask? When, you ask? What specific (or even hypothetically representative) acts are postulated to have occured by other than "natural causation"? Sorry, "intelligent design" has nothing to say on these matters. It suggests no research strategy to address them. Indeed the whole purpose of ID is to avoid addressing such questions. ID is the ultimate anti-theory.

The foregoing was just a tiny sample. So that everyone will have access to the accumulated "Creationism vs. Evolution" threads which have previously appeared on FreeRepublic, plus links to hundreds of sites with a vast amount of information on this topic, here's Junior's massive work, available for all to review:
The Ultimate Creation vs. Evolution Resource [ver 16].
Many Experts Quoted on FUBAR State of Evolution
"If a person doesn't think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what's the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That's how I thought anyway. I always believed the theory of evolution as truth, that we all came from slime. When we died, you know , that was it, there is nothing..."
Jeffrey Dahmer, noted Evolutionist
...That where alternative scientific theories exist in any area of inquiry (such as wave vs. particle theories of light, biological evolution vs. intelligent design, etc.), students should be permitted to learn the evidence for and against them;
...The article states in its conclusion that school boards or biology teachers should "take the initiative to teach, rather than suppress, the controversy as it exists in the scientific world," which is a "more open and more dialectical approach."
Clealrly these people are insane ;o)
Evolution is a fact. Darwin's theory of Natural Selection is a possible explanation for the process of evolution.

Because a bunch of religious types want to believe something else, so they set about using pseudoscience to prop up their silly position.
I don't understand why anyone wants to study Darwin except historians. The field left him behind a long time ago and is accelerating rapidly.
