I’m happy to report that I was in constant correspondence with Ann regarding her chapters on Darwinism — indeed, I take all responsibility for any errors in those chapters. :-)

Speaking only for myself, my agenda is protecting science, and biological science in particular, a pursuit on which I've spent most of my working life, from political attacks by religious fundamentalists, who seem to think we're still in the Middle Ages and that the Enlightenment never happened.
I mean, when you consider that the most ardent defenders and believers in Darwin's theory (for its social implications) in the last centur (for its social implications) in the last century were atheistic Marxist and eugenic fascist regimes, and when one considers that Darwinists' most powerful allies today are the leftist media and the ACLU, how can these folks on FR be so dedicated to defending a viewpoint that is embraced by the left?
This is simply a lie. Stalin rejected Darwin; Hitler had no clue what evolution meant, and embraced it only to the same extent he embraced Roman Catholicism. The 'leftist' media are by-and-large ignorant of science; the ACLU defend separation of church and state, which is one of the bulwarks against teaching religious ideas of creation is school. The ACLU also defends the freedom of children to bring Bibles to school and to disseminate religious messages. Since this poster is likely on their side on those matters, I guess, by his own logic, that makes him a leftist.
The kind of "enthusiasm" we see from the Darwin-apologists here on FR can only be described as *religious fervor*.
Apparently defending a position vigorously is in the mind of this poster 'religious'. How sad that apparently nothing in his life is worth defending vigorously, except a set of superstitious beliefs. One would have hoped, at least, he would consider his country worth defending vigorously; but apparently, not, since he does not describe the defenders of evolution as having patriotic fervor.
I suspect the prime motivation for such rigid dedication to this "theory" has less to do with science, and more to do with adherence to a particular view of morality.
I suspect this poster doesn't understand science and therefore is clueless why one would be interested in promoting a scientific view of the world, and protecting it from backward superstition.
Yeah, that phrase "endowed by our Creator" is pretty essential to the American ideal of liberty; it's what separates us from the rest of the world, where specific rights are granted by authority. Here, we have our rights at birth. I even have it posted on my homepage.
I'm not very religious, but I do believe that many who are believe that the theory of evolution is the correct one. As far as I'm concerned evolution and ID aren't necessarily exclusive of each other. But I think I'm right in saying that quite a few on this board agree.
These crevo threads produce heated emotions, but I suppose lots of the posters find them enjoyable anyhow.
A perfect example of the mind boggling hostility that Darwinists display anytime this issue is discussed.
nice post
good point in the 1st paragraph
good summary in the 2nd
accurate statement in the third
Well, now that you know you won't have to waste your money on it.
You think believing in God is superstitious. You are a moron.
As was right. The fact that Johnson isn't a scientist isn't a basis for stopping him, it's because he is a peddler of lies and falsehoods. Indeed, many non-scientists have made contributions to science. Johnson's pushing lies and trying to get them taught to school children. He should not only be stopped, he should be locked up for attempted child abuse.
LOL... Actually it is only a slightly exaggerated example of the type of mind-boggling ignorance that passes for thinking by creationists and IDers.
"After 150 years of dedicated searching into the fossil record, evolution’s proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims. And a long line of supposed evidence, from the infamous Piltdown Man to the “evolving” peppered moths of England, has been exposed as one hoax after another. Still, liberals treat those who question evolution as religious nuts and prohibit students from hearing about real science when it contradicts Darwinism. And these are the people who say they want to keep faith out of the classroom."
Evolution is the religion of the godless with NO EVIDENCE to back it up. Zilcho! Nado! Evolution is an irrational denial of reality.
Surprising remark coming from an atheist.
I like to look in once in awhile - there's nothing else quite like these threads!
I think you can be an evolutionist and be a good conservative.
Heck, I think you can be an evolutionist and be a good Christian.
agreed again!
Good point--gravity exists whether you accept it or not, evolution is real whether you accept it or not.
Darwin Central--the Conspiracy that Cares! How can we be of service?
"LOL... Actually it is only a slightly exaggerated example of the type of mind-boggling ignorance that passes for thinking by creationists and IDers."
Nonsense, the fact that you don't agree with me and I don't agree with you DOES NOT mean I am ignorant on this issue.
It means we do not agree.
Atleast I admit I am biased by the fact that I support creation. Most darwinists refuse to consider their "theory" is wrong.
No darwinist/evolutionist has ever really answered questions they just shout their theories even louder.
The one I love the best is that life evolved out of bacteria living in rain drops.
