    Teach the controversy. Wait! What controversy?

    Evolution is a Scientific Theory, whereas creationism is a myth, being generous it could get to be a hypothesis, at best.

    The process of differentiation that leads to species is one of mutation and replication of DNA. This is not a theory, this is a scientific fact.

    Read a textbook instead of ancient holy books. You will, at least, understand why a scientific theory is not just a theory.

    Would you, in this era, call this a controversy?

    WHAT CONTROVERSY!!?

    As for your last question, Ed, I have better reasons not to believe in any gods than to believe, but, if there are gods and they are just, they will not care how godly and pious you have been, but will judge you based on the virtues you have lived by.

  • The Problem of Evil and ID Creationism

    WARNING: Biologist attempting Philosophy! Watch at your own risk. Most of the images are pretty mild, but some people are disturbed by medical images. Also censored some classic works of art (that are prominently displayed in churches) that depict non-sexual human anatomy.

    Intelligent Design Creationism, in an attempt to subvert the Constitutional protections against religious education in public schools, have jettisoned the Biblical creation story. Along with that, they have lost the “Fallen Eden/Free Will” defense of the Problem of Evil. This creates a special situation where they insist on an interventionist God without a strong position of theodicy.

    This video’s goal is to show one of many religious or theological objections to Intelligent Design Creationism. It’s important to remember that IDC does not represent many intelligent Christians.
