Academic Freedom Day on Evolution, Feb. 12, 2009

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.

Do your homework before jumping the gun, don't be like all the other evolutionists.

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."

Wow, what a bunch of....(wait for it).....animals. Hehehehe!

HEY, PEOPLE...it is easy than there only other defense! (name calling)

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.

Matt, you have a skewed sense of reality.
Science doesn't, but people get to decide what is taught in science class...

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?

Well, I guess I'm of the opinion that language evolves and I therefore need to get the definitions straight from the source. But I must concede you have the big dictionaries supporting your point.

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.

Also that comment "All science should be objectively provable!" I love it. the guy pushing ID wants things to be provable.... Which begs the question.... If something isn't known to exist can we ... Read Moredeny it? AND What evidence / proof has ID EVER presented? I love this page for the giggles I get!

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.

Read a review of "The Incorrigible Mr. Berlinski" at http://www.alivingdog.com. Click the bone that says "Just Dug Up" and follow the link from the Expelled interview. Also read my review of The Devil's Delusion on Amazon.

Interesting guy.

What a turd, AND I still love the language that the DI chooses to use regarding science.
