MONKEY BUSINESS: Evolution and Intelligent Design

In October 2004, the school board in the small town of Dover, Pennsylvania, ordered its high school biology teachers to preface classes on evolution with the statement: "Darwin's Theory is a theory not a fact. Gaps in the theory exist for which there is no evidence." As an alternative to evolution, the school board suggested "intelligent design," a theory holding that life on earth could not have developed at random. Are there gaps in the theory of evolution that undermine its credibility? What should we make of "intelligent design"? And just what should we be teaching our children about the development of life on earth? Peter Robinson speaks with Massimo Pigliucci and Jonathan Wells.

The supporter of intelligent design is a misguided nonsensical superstitious fool. He deliberately and unashamedly twists every given scientific argument and definition to provide credibility for a totally unscientific faith based joke of a so called 'theory' which is entirely undeserving of any scientific credence or respect.

Yet another thorn in the side of religions...

Evolution is genuine. We all die. Start getting used to the idea.

the way that this show has been edited is pretty one-sided towards the creationist. the so-called mousetrap has been debunked by "ken miller on intelligent design" - youtube vid. also by a large scientific community.

the flagellum, a mousetrap, can have the different parts of this"irredubsubly complex*" machine removed and have them stand on their own and still have a function. the intelligent designers (creationists in disguise) biggest argument debunked.

check out ken miller.

So you think that everything in the universe created itself?

How can you overlook the Nazi'esq blacklisting of dissenting SCIENTISTS and even violent response of dogmatic evolutionists to instead claim that Intelligent Design proponents are dishonest?

Great Video! I this will be beneficial to many theists as it shows clearly the dishonesty of the Intelligent Design movement. Is there any more?
