Scientific American: 15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense
Opponents of evolution want to make a place for creationism
by tearing down real science, but their arguments don’t hold up.
Though I would like to think that I was born without a right-side to my brain, my scientific-ness has only reached the level of wannabe. Anyone that knows me, knows that I am stunned at the way the creationist movement has infiltrated our daily lives. It seems that in the last few years, creationists have played their mind games and word disassociations with impressive results.
If I am not wrong, the Dover Pennsylvania became the first school system in the country to mandate teaching of creationism or intelligent design in schools. They cited flaws in the theory of evolution and used that as a springboard to promote their own religious agendas. This is the equivalent of suggesting that the Theory of Gravity is “just a theory” and that Theory of atom-sized humans held our feet to the ground and prevented us from being hurled into space.
I know that there are more examples of creationists that learned to play 3-Card Monte and are using this to make a case for teaching Intelligent Design.
Although I have a few books on the subject, I believe this article is an excellent synopsis of just want to say when creationist start spouting off their nonsense and then have the nerve to make you defend yourself because Evolution is “just a theory.”
My opinion until I change it.
