With the anniversary of Darwin's opus nearly upon us, a question that keeps coming up is whether the scientific community is any closer to figuring out the origins of life now than when Darwin published his theory 150 years ago?

Now I admit.... I didn' read more than the intro paragraph represented here....... But, (And this is significant because it is the underpinning for the entire ID stance of "Not Getting It") Darwin's book was not about the origins of life.... I believe, if the title serves me correct. It was "On the Origins of SPECIES" Big difference.

Matt,

They are aware of the differences.....read before you post.
They will be discussing the origins of life as well as conflicting evidence to Darwins Theory.

Just watched a debate, funny the evolutionists were accusing the creationists of telling half truths. When asked right out to name 1 half truth brought out by the creationists. They did not state one.

When evolutionists claimed they had plenty of proof for evolution, once again the creationist asked to name any one finding that they consider proof. Nothing

No wonder why they won't debate anymore. Evolution is only believable when it comes without scrutiny.

Apparently the survival of the fittest isn't enough for the "Darwinists" and their crusade of no meaning. They must take evolution into their own hands, or paws, as it were. This, in itself, shows that the IDers are, in the regrettable phrase, "more evolved."

Its evolution bo-tards. It isn't Darwin.

And I think it is awesome that science actually gets to decide what is taught in science class instead of a crowd of god-fearing science inept turds.

The modern evolutionary synthesis, based on Darwin's original theory, is also called "Neo-Darwinism".

Leading journals also reveal the common usage of the term in mainstream scientific literature:

"Evolution" by itself merely denotes any kind of change of a population that may occur in response to artifical or natural selection. That term should not be confused with Neo-Darwinian theory.

Frank, "an affiliate" is not the same as "the affiliate," which implies the CSC is more closely related to the Smithsonian Institution than it actually is. The CSC probably wishes to approve each press release to prevent such false impressions.

Once again Matt I'll try to explain.

Matthew Washington books the CSC to promote his new video or whatever. He then signs a contract with them.

I own an organization that promotes the same issue as you. Heck, I may even be in the video. I wish to notify my people because I feel it is important for them too see it. So I issue my own press release.... Read More

Are you really trying to tell me, that you would be responsible for my press releases? Therefore the csc has the right to cancel the contract. I DON'T THINK SO!!!

Do you even know what a press release is? Really?

Atheism is the denial of the existence of God? Wowsers. Since no one anywhere "Knows" that God exists that definition is slightly off. But just slightly.

You appear to be better spoken than I, and for that your skills in argument may be well beyond mine. However, the crux of this argument overall is "Is ID science, and can it therefore be taught in science class" And the overwhelming answer (Until someone on your side stops posturing and starts doing some actual work) Is NO.
