Dover and the evolution of the anti-evolution movement 1of6

The Dover Trial and the Evolution of the Anti- Evolution Movement. Presented by Ed Brayton, co-founder of Michigan Citizens for Science and freelance writer for Skeptic magazine, The Bard and Reports of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) and contributor to The Panda's Thumb, a premiere advocacy website for evolution, science and nature. The central irony seen in the anti- evolution agenda is that while denying evolution, they make use of an evolutionary strategy to strive for successful propagation of their meme in the world. As the environment changes, they adapt and morph their approach to spread their creationist beliefs, at the expense of the competition: biological science. The Dover school district case was, therefore, a continuation in a long process that has involved four basic phases so far. Mr. Brayton outlined these for us.

Easier yes, but not logical- You might as well say life was started by blue haired pixies. It's just as valid and provable as "god". It is the purpose of the Sciences to research, investigate and experiment to discover the how and why of everything. Should Science also not investigate planetary motion, the cause of disease, or a host of other fields that have provided (or helped provide) you with a longer life, better food, a computer, flight, etc? Pesky Science, out there discovering things.

Plus, you're missing all the benefits evolution science gives us. Many diseases, e.g. heredetary ones, can be fought with the knowledge we gain from this research. Science is rarely ever wasted, and it usually indirectly DOES work towards feeding and clothing people, so to speak.

@77goldberg77 You self righteous little ignorant prick. Try researching something before you make an argument against it. Human is a monkey? Because evolution says humans are monkey's. That's what it's all about. Einstein was an old man. I guess he was stupid too. The statement "there are more facts that the human is createt by god than by evolution" shows me two things.

1) You can't fucking type.

2) You are greatly misinformed.

Please, read a book. Enlighten yourself.
