matthewbhere rated 6 months ago- The Attack on Reason and Science Continues
From the article, "But like bacteria adapting to antibiotics, creationism has slimmed down once again, this time shedding even a mention of an intelligent designer. A new textbook put out by the Discovery Institute, the Seattle think tank that promotes I.D., doesn't even have the words "intelligent design" in its index. Instead of pushing I.D. explicitly, "Explore Evolution: The Arguments for and Against Darwinism," promoted as a high school- or college-level biology text, "teaches the controversy." Teach the controversy is the new mantra of the I.D. movement."
Just like defense attorneys, creationists can only try to poke holes in the theory of evolution; they can't actually offer any evidence that supports their biblical view of the world, because no evidence exists. It's amazing how far people will go to believe what they want to believe. By the way, I do like the reference to "adapting bacteria" in the article; comparing ID proponents to bacteria that you can literally see evolving with your own eyes, is rather clever in my opinion.

- I especially liked the art for the piece. The evolution of creationism After their notorious legal defeat, intelligent design proponents are resurfacing with insidious new assaults on science. No, the battle between creationism and evolution is hardly over. The true believers in intelligent design and other forms of creationism aren't about to lay down their worldview for a federal judge or anyone else. And polls show that about half of America is on their side. "Evolution remains under attack," says Eugenie Scott, an anthropologist and a director of the National Center for Science Education, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching evolution in public schools. "If creationists have their way, teachers will eventually just stop teaching evolution. It'll just be too much trouble. And generations of students will continue to grow up ignorant of basic scientific realities."
