This fellow Shermer likens evolution denial to holocaust denial, and says it is the work of religious fundamentalists. One over the top statement like this blows his credibility. Well, there are non-religious people who see the theory of evolution as full of holes. Dawkins is best known for his tautological work in the area of considering humanity as purely an epiphenomenon to its genes. His unsupported conclusion about anything is no more entitled to credence than anyone else's.

True enough - there are non-religious folks who see holes in evolution. Then, too, there are both religious and non-religious folks who believe the evidence is there to demonstrate panspermia - the migration of life in and through space to other worlds - one of which is our own.

They have gone so far as to suggest that life originated by means we can barely imagine tens of billions of years ago, and possibly even in other universes or other dimensions far removed from this universe.

Life moves a piece at a time, and enhances whatever other life it encounters. This includes improvements on the genome. Since life is structured, these "improvements" would be taken by the improvident to develop a belief in "evolution".

Yes, this guy is definitely one you don't want trying to defend evolution well. Zorobabel caught another of his screw-ups. Evolution only has logic going for it, and when its proponents make mistakes in that area, it hurts a lot.

Am I the only one who doesn't see a conflict between Creationism and Evolution theory?
