This is a very interesting article. The ridiculous arguments against evolution are laid out well, probably by an author with a scientific bias. The statement that science is not a new religion, though, is less than honest. Darwin was seen in his time (and still is) as the destructor of christianity. What else could his ideas (and Wallace's) be than a new religion?
I don't want to start a thread arguing religion. Look at the history and think about the evolution wars in terms of threats to beliefs. Darwin is not unlike Luther. The fact that evidence is used rather than ideas is inconsequential to the basic conflict. We all have beliefs that have to be *personally* contradicted in order to change. Evolution theory does not do that to most people. Bill >>> "Christopher D.
