In a reply to an article about fake evolution linked to above... I think the "question" should not be "Why is evolution so important to some people?" because that is easily answered. ("It's science.") The question should be "Why is fake evolution so important to some people?" whith "fake evolution" being whatever lie Creationists can tell about what evolution is. Is it really so difficult for people "critical" of evolution at least to write an article about the subject that do...

How one species can evolve into two species without ever crossing a "species border" is apparently more difficult to understand than I thought. When I first learned about the theory of evolution, understanding how different species evolve was no problem for me. I didn't know it was difficult for others. It is. If you don't understand evolution (for example, if you believe that evolution is about one specie...
May 14 2008 Religion Theories and Fairy Tales As was mentioned many times before, the evolution of one species into two can be observed in the lab. I believe they usually use fruitflies. The theory of evolution says that what works in the lab explains what happened in the real world as well. There is no reason to assume that fruitflies (or any animal) stop reproducing just before two populations stop being compatible enough to interbreed (definition of species). Read more...

A lot has been made off the so-called controversy between Creationism and biology. And ever interested in controversy I have decided to give an example of Intelligent Design. When I entered the office this morning I noticed a strange construction (I thought), which looked like two rooms with double doors that opened when I pressed a button. The rooms were not immediately obvious to me since the doors failed to open until quite some time after I pressed what looked like the doorbe...
