Jury still out on Scopes trial
I think everybody would agree that if one chooses to believe that the Earth was created in a week and that man emerged fully formed 6,000 ago, then it is his right and there is nothing wrong with it. Do the theological underpinnings for this belief belong in science class alongside the Theory of Evolution?
About as much as Quantum Theory belongs in a church sermon.

Actually, the science and theology do not need be divorced at all. http://www.answersingenesis.org/ It's hard to reconcile the second law of thermodynamics with molecules to man evolution. What needs to be done is Darwins theory demoted to theory, which it is. Darwin has become as much a non-thinking religion as Catholicism has.

Nice commentary AND cartoon. How we can seem to be moving BACKWARD in our intelligence with all the knowledge we have available to us is mind-boggling. Next, we'll be debating Gallileo's "theories" on whether the Earth really revolves around the sun or vice versa, as implied in the Bible.

Evolution is not a theory, it has been proven. That does not mean there is not wonder in this world or that we have to abandon our faith in God. I have never understood why so many folks feel threatened by evolution.

Sorry, evolution has not, in fact, been proven. Even the most ardent evolution scientist will tell you that. It remains a theory. one with considerable questions still to be answered. This is exactly what the bill in the senate is about - allowing questions. Science is about proposing theories and arguing the pros and cons. Evolutionists would have these arguments stifled summarily. What are they afraid of ?

1: Both evolution and creation requires a leap of faith. Evolution has not been proven 100% either.
2: We can only track our history 5000-6000 years back.
3: Even though everyone laughs at the idea of the flood it's odd that the none of the civilizations and settlements we found date past 4000 years ago. Sure, we find these convenient paintings in caves and bodies that are supossingly 100 millions year old (easy to fake), but we can not find one little village older than 4000 years.
