No Weaknesses in the Theory of Evolution?

by Frank Sherwin, M.A.*

"There are no weaknesses in the theory of evolution." This was the testimony of Eugenie Scott to the Texas State Board of Education in January when the Board was debating new state science curriculum standards.1 Dr. Scott is Executive Director of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), a watchdog group committed to exposing and ridiculing any group that questions the strange paradigm of Darwinism. Is it true "there are no weaknesses" in this particles-to-people worldview?

Clearly, there is a very real problem with what biological molecules (DNA and proteins) tell the evolutionary scientist, versus what morphology (fossils) says. Evolutionary medical journalist Trish Gura exposed this weakness when addressing a raging debate within evolutionary circles:

Evolution: a 150 fifty year old observation of variation WITHIN species

Evolution: an all-encompassing Rosetta stone that half-educated journalists use to blog about everything from bio-bots to baseball

Evolution: a hideous death-cult philosophy responsible for communism, Nazism and eugenics.

Sincerely,
Fishtank, PhD

"There are no weaknesses in the theory of evolution."

Sounds a bit like the way the North Koreams speak of the 'beloved leader', doesn't it?

If evolution and global warming are no longer “debatable”, we could save a lot of money by defunding all the research.

I don’t think its fair to equate Global Warming and Evolution.

Moonbats support the former, not the latter.

"Then a miracle occurs"

Wrong theory. That's the Creationism/Intelligent Design explanation.

So, the Executive Director of the National Center for Science Education says “There are no weaknesses in the theory of evolution” and a group of charlatan crackpots called the Institute for Creation Research says there are.
It says a lot about your personal intelligence level when you decide which of those two to trust for the truth about science.

The theory of evolution has more holes than my Detroit Lions’ defense! Number one, none of it can be successfully tested. It is pure speculation that blind forces could have produced eyes, ears, noses, brains, livers, kidneys, lungs, etc. for any organism, let alone millions of them.
I would LOVE to take a course on evolution at a HS or college level today. I’d drive the teacher crazy with logical questions. Of course I’d fail..... Bob

Now your talking! Both of them are junk science, protected from competition, and magnified by our tax dollars.

Except the Creationists are up front about it. Life is indeed a miracle, governed by God’s regular laws, and capable of being understood by those who are created in HIS image.

PhD in revisionist history?

The Communists decried Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection as too capitalistic with its uneven distribution of resources and focus on individual success or failure.

Nazis banned Darwin's books in Germany, and wanted to kill Jews to “avenge my saviors blood upon the cross” to hear Hitler tell it.

Eugenics were practiced in ancient Sparta, and is not supported by anybody who understands biology and evolution to know what the term “antagonistic pleiotropy” means.

It's amazing what some people will sacrifice in order to make the grade:

Evolution is not junk science. Just look at the transition between ape and man? Why were all those early humans aka neanderthals, or homo hablis etc half human and half ape like? Because it was a gradual transitioning. It is so clear.

If it were just Adam and Eve, then who were those people?
