@golffore79 when your school takes something that hasn't been proved as fact and teaches it as a fact is indoctrination. unfortunately, schools today offer no other alternative to believing evolution.

intelligent design makes so much more sense than evolution. if you really think about the odds that go into a theory of evolution, they're so astronomically small (and by astronomically I mean 10 to the 500 millionth power to one) intelligent design is much more believable. there's no debating that

[golffore79]

its funny he mentions those who believe in evolution have been indoctrinated. The only thing that science today shows us is that evolution is indeed a fact. Everything we discover points to evolution being true. Anyone who says otherwise is clearly not a scientist. And if students really couldn't give him good reasons for why macro evolution is true is just evidence of how bad our schools in america have become.

Thankyou Stephen, you are doing a wonderful job, its a slow process but things are beginning to change.

@Galmozzi99 you're speaking nonsense.

[Galmozzi99]

@pandorachild You can find Gould discussing it in more detail in Gould’s book "The Richness of Life", pages 263 and 264. His solution to the problem was to deduce his theory of punctuated equilibrium, a reasonable idea, and an honest attempt to recognize & explain the absence of the needed millions of gradual transitions. His theory has not received much support due to lack of direct evidence and an unwillingness to address or even acknowledge the issue. Instead the problem just sits there.

@Galmozzi99 I looked this up and ended up on a quote mining page.Seems like creationists tend to misquote Gould often,40% of the quote mining,was about punctuated equilibrium. Gal could you point me to the original article you got this from?

@DickJohnson3434 I agree.

@Entropy56

If those are the kinds of things they are trying to discover, they should be called a watchdog group and not a think tank.

Oh, you know… they discover the usual things Darwinists have been hiding for the past 150 years, like lies in textbooks, fudging evidence to fit their Darwinian beliefs, ignoring irreducible complexity that suggests intelligent design. There is much to keep the Discovery Institute busy for years. I suggest you go to their web site and discover more.
