It all depends on whether anyone in Dover, PA is interested in a career in actual science.

I am not the result of random interactions between matter and energy over time. Evolution is stupid.

Interesting that a political magazine supporting Democrats and a leftist domestic agenda would choose this topic to highlight.

Even if they somehow "prove" that man evolved from soup...they'll still have to explain who made the soup...and the ingredients for the soup....and the recipe for the soup....and why.

Let us begin by stipulating that "Inherit the Wind" did not tell the truth about the Dayton trial, and I am not just talking about the usal Hollywood spin on a story. Bryan, for instance, opposed evolution in part because he opposed social darwinism. Because of his populism and his opposition to the war, he was already in ill favor with the Eastern Establishment. But it goes beyond that. Darrow was may "enlightened" but he was also as nasty as the Horbeck character that Gene Kelley played. Even though "Hornbeck" was supposed to be Mencken, much of what he said actually came out of Darrow's mouth at the time.

All you ID proponents out there are gonna choke on your own desires when your kid comes homes and explains how krishna, budda, or allah created the heavens & earth!

And when you ask, "What about jehovah or yahweh?", they will say "Who's that? Never heard of him!".

If you like what they teach in sex ed. classes, you will love the course: Theories of Intelligent Design 101.

Please, please, stop trying to give the keys to your children's religious education to government bureaucrats and the NEA. Take your kids to church, temple, or mosque instead.

If there is a god, evolution is NOT a refutation of his existence, but a celebration of how perfect a creation it is that creatures can change & adapt to meet the challenges presented over eons of time.

Why does ones faith in a supreme being have to be involve rote acceptance of scribblings from bronze age denizens.

Why cant those stories and parables be just that....and let science just be science. A lot of religious folks could learn something from modern Catholic doctrine.

The evolutionists are terrified of ID -why? That's the real question...

If evolution does not posit an anti-religious undercurrent or does not attempt to discredit concept of creator -whats to fear from ID and why the defensive stance? In my opinion the science of evolution but harbors safely the hatred of anti-Christianity AND this is why the secular evolutionist zealots are up in arms...
