I saw a show on one of the Public stations last night (missed the first part so I don't know the name of it). It pretty much tore up the evolution idea and proposed intellegent design as the up and coming theory. It was a fascinating scientifically based show and, after watching it, the whole idea of evolution to explain life and the diversity of species seems laughable.

It may have been the one put together by "Discovery Institute," a creationist (or perhaps ID) group. It's been the subject of a thread or two.

Found it. Some dispute whether it's "scientifically based." It's called Unlocking the Mystery of Life. You may want to check out Who Promotes Unlocking the Mystery of Life?.

Was it? Or did it just seem "scientifically based?" (lots of "scientific-sounding" words and arguments that sound good at first glance, but don't hold up under real scrutiny). Unfortunately, most Americans, regardless of political stripe, wouldn't recognize real science if it smacked them on the butt and called them "sweetie." That's why there's always some con-man able to get backing for the latest "free energy" device.
