The Scopes "Monkey Trial":
Before we get to these, let's consider a few of the famous facts of the trial . . . and not one of them is true. More - http://www.garynorth.com/RoadtoDayton.pdf
John T. Scopes was a physical education teacher who taught evolution.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announced that it would finance a court case to test the constitutionality of the law. John Scopes volunteered to allow himself to be arrested in order to test the law. He said later that, to his knowledge, he had never taught evolution; he simply went along with the ACLU to give them a case. The day that Scopes supposedly taught evolution, he was not even in class ("Biology: God's Living Creation, 353). http://www.essortment.com/history-john-scopes-monkey-trial-21107.html
Bryan wanted to use the trial in a conservative political counter-revolution.
In War Against the Weak, award-winning investigative journalist Edwin Black connects the crimes of the Nazis to a pseudoscientific American movement of the early 20th century called eugenics. Based on selective breeding of human beings, eugenics began in laboratories on Long Island but ended in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. Cruel and racist laws were enacted in 27 U.S. states, and the supporters of eugenics included progressive thinkers like Woodrow Wilson, Margaret Sanger, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Ultimately, over 60,000 "unfit" Americans were coercively sterilized, a third of them after Nuremberg declared such practices crimes against humanity. This is a timely and shocking chronicle of bad science at its worst — with many important lessons for the impending genetic age. http://www.amazon.com/War-Against-Weak-Eugenics-Americas/dp/1568583214
EUGENIE C. SCOTT:
"*Avoid Debates*. If your local campus Christian fellowship asks you to
"defend evolution," please decline. Public debates rarely change many
minds; creationists stage them mainly in the hope of drawing large
sympathetic audiences. Have you ever watched the Harlem Globetrotters
play the Washington Federals? The Federals get off some good shots, but
who remembers them? The purpose of the game is to see the Globetrotters
beat the other team. And you probably will get beaten. In such a forum,
scientific experts often try to pack a semester-long course into an hour,
hoping to convey the huge sweep of evolution, the towering importance of
its ideas, the masses of evidence in its favor. Creationist debaters know
better. They come well prepared with an arsenal of crisp, clear,
superficially attractive antievolutionary arguments--fallacious ones, yes,
but far too many for you to answer in the time provided. Even if you win
the debate in some technical sense, most of the audience will still walk
away from it convinced that your opponent has a great new science that
the schools should hear about. Teachers have enough problems. Above all
else, do no harm." (Scott E.C, "Monkey Business," The Sciences, New
York Academy of Sciences, January/February 1996, Vol. 36, No. 1; pp.20-
25, p.25. Emphasis in original)

Science is debated through wee researched papers published in peer-reviewed journals. NOT on stage in 15 minute soundbites in front of a layman audience.

There is no debate about IF evolution happens. Debating religion is a waste of time.

@xXTheRatXx Correct, Science does not use magic, voodoo or supernatural beings. Scientists are of all religions, they have bias towards their favorite theories and fudge the data, they are only human. That is why there is peer review. Religion knows the answers from the start, so you only look for evidence that supports your stories.

"When extremely intelligent people come to polar opposite conclusions while looking at the same evidence, it is apparant that the difference is in their worldviews/frameworks, not in empical science. Still, evolutionists refuse to agknowledge the fact that they themselves interperate..."
- incorrect, the differnce between these is that evolution is a conclusion reached through subjecting evidence to science (the most effective mechanism for identifying what is true)

@xXTheRatXx uh no, the reason we accept evolution is because it is the ONLY explanation for the variety of life supported by evidence, period.

When extremely intelligent people come to polar opposite conclusions while looking at the same evidence, it is apparant that the difference is in their worldviews/frameworks, not in empical science. Still, evolutionists refuse to agknowledge the fact that they themselves interperate evidence through their own ideologies which they accept on a basis of faith. They invent self-serving rules for what "real science" is and isn't. They only except naturalistic explanations for phillosophical reasons.

The fact the scientist don't want to enter a 3-ring circus does not discredit them. These people are scientists not hucksters. Its not about who wins a debate directed to an audience who doesn't understand the science, it’s about who has the real science. We can be deceived by people or we can take it upon ourselves to learn about evolution. It's amazing how quickly it becomes apparent that this so called creation science has no right to be taught anywhere as science. Learn the truth.

So you're not even TRYING to come up with any arguments anymore. What is one to think of someone who starts posting irrelevant quotes from their favorite religious text and links to totally unrelated videos? The only proper response is contempt, mixed with a good dose of pity. I, sir, salute you for representing creationists in all their splendor.
Have a nice day!
