The main problem with this topic, is that so many people enter the subject with a particular bias, one way or the other.

I do not claim to be an expert on the subject, but read extensively both sides of the subject, and at this point in my like, Behe and Dembski make the most logical sense, since the evidence on side of the evolutionary apologists consists of speculation, and conjecture, at best.

Time to read a little more. By my count, there is one bible and perhaps 100 quirky little creationist books from tiny publishing houses and about 10 large release books by hacks like Dembski and Behe. Stack that up against the THOUSANDS of books by scientists, 10's of thousands of journal articles by scientists, and thousands more textbooks by scientists that support evolution. If you make the effort, you will find your supposition of "speculation and conjecture" to ring rather hollow. Happy reading!

Anyone who reads and is knowledgeable in matters of biology accepts evolutionary tenets as the basis for the development of life on earth. For this to be questioned smacks of either a fear of letting go of long-held notions or of repudiation of science itself...IMHO. Anyone can question science- - -science allows you you put things to the test. Until someone can come up with solid evidence that disproves what the the fossil record tells us, invalidates DNA work, comparitive animal morphology and behavior and geologic analyses, I will recognize evolution and Darwinian selection as fact.For any school board to refuse to do so is, in my eyes, archaic and I would never allow my children to be educated in that kind of institution.
