so quick to Criticize, but I bet you have never looked at the other side read any of their books.
I for one have read *Creation Science *and
Darwin’s Black Box. I have also checked out checked out various other articles and websites on creationism and ID. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve spent far too much time on Creationist material.
Many a Creation Scientist do have PhDs. There are over 600 Scientists in major universities in this country and around the world stating that they do not believe in the type of Darwinism that is being taught today.
Whether a person has a PhD. doesn’t mean that they are right on any particular issue. It does not magically convey insight. However, if you think that having a Phd. means that you have some extrordinary power of deduction, and that large numbers make a claim more likely to be true, then you really should believe in Evolution. Many, many, many more people with PhD.'s believe in Evolution than don’t.
600 scientists is a drop in the bucket. Thousands of people get their PhD.'s every year. Most of the scientists on that list don’t have degrees in Biology, or even a closely related field. At least two people have said that they wanted their names removed from the list as they misunderstood the purpose of the petition. Many of the people on the list are listed as being associated with much more prestigious schools than they are currently affiliated with. The petition lists honours such as “Nobel Prize Nominee”. Which is impressive, since the Prize committee keeps nominations in strict the strictest confidence.
But you would somehow treat them all like blazing idiots.
You know the feeling you get when someone in the media lies about Catholicism? Something really simple and stupid like “Catholics worship Mary” or “Catholics have to do everything the Pope says”. You could understand it if someone were to misunderstand something complicated. But something so simple and easy to check… well that’s just annoying. It makes you wonder, “Are they being stupid, malicious, or do they not care enough about the truth to check the most basic of facts.”
One person spreading an untruth would be bad enough, but the lie always spreads. People hear a lie on CNN and nothing you can do will shake them from believing it. You can prove something a hundred times over, and they just won’t let go of the false belief.
The evidence for Evolution is overwhelming. Saying that Evolution is suspect is like saying that believing in gravity is suspect. Evolution has been held up to intense scrutinity from the day it began, and it has always prevailed. Evolution predicted that there were heiritable traits passed from generation to generation. We call them genes now. It predicted that we would find transitional forms in the fossil record. Not only have we found transitional forms in the fossil record, but we have found transitional forms in the genome. Even people who reject macro-evolution must accept that a species of bacteria that lives on Nylon could not have been around before there was Nylon to feed on.
We need a new flu shot every year because of Evolution. You need to finish all of your antibiotics because of Evolution. We have enough food to feed six billion humans instead of capping out at a few million because of Evolution.
The scientists who are critical of Evolution aren’t attacking the theory scientifically. They aren’t coming up with alternate hypotheses and testing them. They are just spouting opinions and red herrings.
Michael Behe, for instance, hasn’t run a single test of his hypothesis. What he is proposing can’t be tested. It’s a judgement call, an opinion, that he is calling a fact. And people who don’t know science are being sucked in by his degree.
They don’t do the research to find out that Michael Behe announced, under oath, that Intelligent Design is a science to the same degree that astrology is a science. Did you catch that?If creationism is a science, then astrology is a science.
We live in a culture where lies outweigh the truth. Tony Robbins, homeopathy, chiropractics, tarot, spoon bending, esp, seances… People are being blungeoned with baloney. They don’t have time to examine all the hooey and come to a rational, infromed opinion. They don’t, often, even know how to decide what is rational.
That’s why Evolutionists get so angry. We see lies being paraded around with impunity, and we are questioned on every single detail until we are exhausted. That’s why we collapse in a heap shouting, it’s just so stupid. So, so stupid.
Do you have a science degree???
Yes, in Anthropology.
He used to help us. He knows everything. Now, he has disappeared.
Phil’s been around for eons. He can knock down every wall of opposition with kindness and knowledge. Phil is one of our most valuable assets! 
And, he is never rude or mean just funny.
