Any sort of a theory whose adherents simply ignore major disproofs over a long period of time is basically a religious doctrine.

The important thing this article does is affirms what I've said before - evolution is a philosophy, NOT a science. Evolution is a worldview and a philosophical lens through which empirical evidences are interpreted. Evolution, itself, is not science. It is not empirically verifiable. It is not repeatable. It relies upon the interpretation of circumstantial evidences which, in and of themselves, would have nothing to do with evolution except that evolutionists have chosen to jam them into the evolutionary framework which they've built.

I really hope that the ‘08 election does not address this issue, because it’s always embarrasing to see educated politicians pretend to believe in creationism hocus-pocus in order to placate the zealots of the Republican base. If the future of this country falls into the hands of people that believe the earth is 4,000 years old, then God freakin’ help us. America is great because of our science and technology, not Biblical literalism. Do we have to have another Scopes Monkey Trial? What do you want to chuck next, the general theory of relativity, radio carbon dating, the periodic table, calculus? I hate this hillbilly nonsense.
