McNamee suggests that evolution is as solidly grounded as the theory of gravity.

Interestingly enough it's barely been a century now since Einstein questioned the theory of gravity and came up with something entirely different.

Even now there are physicists working on more advanced theories of gravity.

The current theory of evolution, if it's no better grounded than the theory of gravity, is definitely one doomed puppy. (Bwahahahahahahaha)

Reporters should learn something before they write nonsense.

That's the scientific process at work. Theories are developed, research, tested, and published for other to examine and challenge. Sometimes the theory is found to be inaccurate and is replaced with a newer theory. Often the additional research supports the original hypothesis. All science, including evolution, goes through this.

Why isn't a similar process used in intelligent design or creationism?

It wasn't "something entirely different." It was a refinement to handle some special cases for which Newton's theory proved inadequate. For most physics and engineering work, Newton's theory works fine, and is still used every day.

Einstein did not refute Newton's work; he improved on it, which is the opposite. Without Newton (or somebody else to do his work) Einstein would have been nowhere.

Will scientists improve on Darwin? Probably they already have.

evolution is so strong that it’s believers will not allow opposing theories of ID and creationism to be taught alongside it in public schools; even to the extreme nuttyness of saying they are not scientific. That is pretty convincing to me!

Well, that’s quite a trick. He must have mastered time travel somewhere along the line, because he died in 1955. Either I’m younger than I thought, or I can’t do math.

"Reporters should learn something before they write nonsense."

And so should you.
