The gain evolutionists made around 90 years ago at the Scopes Monkey trial has become outdated. For BILL Maher, that giant of evolutionary understanding to question anyone on science speaks volumes about the rhetoric associated with this discussion. Their has been a view that started with the "victory" at the Scopes Monkey trial that scientist are infallible. To speak against them is ex cathedra. In hindsight we have been able to "dig up" some evidence of our own ALA "the Piltdown man", Cover up at the British Musuem.(documented on PBS)and may other cases proving that the champions of evotionary science do not come to the table without their own set agendas, preconceived notions, and outright fraudulant activities to support their "scientific" house of cards.
The idea of "Macro evolution" change from one species to another(as opposed to micro-evolution-changes WITHIN a species) causes futher confusion in the discussion. The former remains unsubstantiated and it is why we talk about the "MISSING" link. The THEORY of evolution then requires just as much faith as intelligent design and they should BOTH be given airtime (or not) to our Public school students.The Evolutionists seem more afraid of this than the people who originally opposed evolution before the original Scopes Monkey trial. Why I wonder? Could it be that evolution is the sacred bedrock to the Secular Atheistim's faith/belief that there is no God or higher power? Until they can conclusively answer where the first cell came from it will always be an unproveable THEORY. With the rise of DNA they realize there is a irreduceable complexity that makes their initial 19th century assumptions even more untenable, and that to even presume the evoution of the first cell brings them back to the age old question "which came first , the chicken or the egg? "
It is time for some intellectual honesty. In fairness to our children TEACH BOTH THEORIES OR TEACH NEITHER!!!! BOTH REQUIRE A LEAP OF "FAITH"! Maybe if kids thought they were accountable to someone other than themselves there would be less school shootings ..etc etc......what are you people SO afraid of?
On the Nova PBS site "Intelligent Design on Trial" there is an EXCELLENT interview with the Father of Intelligent Design- Phillip Johnson
