These are the guys with the accademic credentials to back up their claims.
An interesting and candid confession by an evolutionist. |
The answers in genesis people are pushing the political agenda really hard - it is a sad day if it inflitrates this country.
The evidence of biological evolution is overwhelming, irrespective of what Patterson says, covering biochemistry, genetics, geology, paleontology, and even field observations. Evolution does not have any holes. At all. Zero. Just because someone has an academic qualification does not make them right. This is not how science operates. This is not the scientific method.
Darwin was a creationist, until the evidence persuaded him otherwise, and the argument has been going on since. The evidence was not as strong in his day as it is now.
This is a real threat to people who base their faith on what some old religious texts say. This is understandable, as the existence of physical and biological evolution means that maybe there isn't a supreme being, and maybe, just maybe, we are all merely the products of natural processes. This is a potential faith buster, which is why there is this movement to promote creationism and its offshoot, ID. These people are fearful and frightened, which is why they assert their beliefs with religious fervour.
It also goes against "common" sense, as aren't we as humans very special? Haven't we been given domination over all the birds and animals of the fields?
Problem is we share the same biochemistry and genetics to a frightening degree. The only remotely plausible scenario is for a supernatural being to breath a soul into a hominoid. There is no evidence for this.
Glen is correct, you can't win a full frontal argument with zeolots. It will be sad if the intellectual integrity of our education system suffers as a result.
